Striped wire

[InsanePyro]

Anyone know where to buy striped wire that doesn't require a crazy minimum order? I've found a few sites but nothing feels particularly legit.

Striped wire? What is this for?

I have a stripper and ehh maybe 500lb of various wire. What do you need, what's your offer?

EDIT: You'll have to paint the stripe yourself

Old man's boat. It's got a factory wiring chart and I'd like to redo it using the same colors so I can keep using the same diagram and not have to remember any changes or mess around labelling **** and so forth

Take a look at WireBarn. They have a wide range of colors and you can get variety packs with 25' lengths of multiple colors. Unfortunately they don't seem to have stripes...

Amazon has some like 18 GXL HIGH TEMP AUTOMOTIVE WIRE 8 STRIPED COLORS 10 FEET EACH 80 FEET TOTAL.

4RCustomsWire seems to have a wide choice. I haven't done business with them, they showed up on a search.

Some times we complicate things by refusing to adapt to modern methods and techniques.

Wires can be numbered with self adhesive markers and wiring charts be updated to reflect the changes made.

I bought striped wire from 4RCustoms when building the harness for my (modified) Model A. Order fulfillment was good, but they sent a length of wire with the wrong stripe color, and did not respond to my email about the issue.

If you're using (or OK with) the wiring color system used by Lucas on most vintage British cars, British Wiring has lots of options for solid color and striped insulation, in all kinds of wire gauges.

Maybe call one of the harness manufacturers like Painless Wiring or American Autowire and see if they will sell you what you need.

I've been wiring up 2-speaker guitar cabinets in series. I like to use a striped wire between the one speaker positive and the other's negative (old school). I've been using teflon wire, soldering at 600F is nice : ) Best price I found is here:

They definitely have an old school internet presence : ) I've ordered wire multiple time without problem.

Unless it’s big, boat wire is usually tinned.
