John Bracher Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Gents Wanting to wire in some Halogen headlights/relays on my 6. I'd like to use the correct colour coding for the new cable runs. Does anyone know a decent supplier of 17.5 Amp, 2mm sq. 28/0.30 cable in the correct Blue/white and Red/Blue colours?? I really don't want to buy a 50m roll which is all I can find in the Red/Blue! Also not wanting to buy a full loom just to butcher for parts! Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlejim Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Dunno about the TR wiring but for the boat you have the option of 'copper' wire or 'tinned' wire. The tinned wire has a silver coating and is a lot more resistant to corrosion (esp in the marine environment.) I inherited my TR loom and have no idea whether it is tinned or not. Any new/additional wiring required I used the 'tinned'. Have no idea whether it is important on the TR, when I have to do repairs on old untinned wiring I usually find the wire is black (corroded) for some distance from the join or connection, which does not happen with the tinned wire. Usually find to get the black wire to accept solder I have to use hydrochloric acid, the milder fluxes don't seem to improve things much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grahamgl Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 John, I used to use VWP but then I found Polevolt. Much better all round. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
