In a few months I hope to start the total re-wiring of my car. I dont want to use 40 year old wire and connectors!
From a VERY quick count up, I reakon I would need about 12 different wire colours. I dont need massive rolls of each. Any suggestions of a cheap place to buy??? The usual car part shops just dont cut it. Narva stock plenty of colours but have a minimum of a 30m roll!!!!!

Escort 1300 695.00 764.50
Escort Twin Cam 1600 770.00 847.00
They also sell trace wire and connectors.
Worth a call.

thanks Fordsy.....exy
I think my electrical systems are now so customised that a bespoke loom is prolly the only way forward.
Is my old 1300 Super loom worth much to sell??

cheers shannon. having done abit more googling I have found several places that sell in 30m rolls for what appear to be reasonable prices. I guess what I dont use can go on ebay!

Awesome. It's very satisfying have just done that myself. All I can say is good luck! 5 months, a burnt foot and cut hands it's finished. Oh yeah. Whatever your budget is... Triple it!!
