Sheathing is both an aesthetically pleasing and functional material used in harness construction.
This is just one small piece of knowledge from a detailed course.
Sheathing, or sleeving, offers protection from abrasion and keeps your wires safely bundled together. From an aesthetical point of view a tidily sleeved loom/harness with logical branches and transitions is great also simply great to see and an organised engine bay is always easier to work on and quicker to find and fix faults/issues in.
Today Zac is going to run you through two sheathing options which are expandable braid and heat shrink.
In addition to learning about these two options and how to implement them, you will learn of some of the other factors you need to consider when choosing your material including heat and fully if you need a fully sealed loom.

I hope he's getting paid a lot of money because he is a damn good speaker.

I love the mesh sleeving myself . looks good , easy to use , in most situations , handles engine bay temps and lets the loom get rid of heat better than heat shrink

[@DallasHerrmann]

Decided to try using expandable braid for an instrumentation harness at work last night. Unfortunately I didn't know what I was doing, and progress was slow. Will be interesting to see what first shift makes of it 🙃

Amazing content lads.
Keep it coming!!!

[@babyjesus2025]

What size expandable wire loom would you recommend using on 4 gauge wire?

[@89_triumph]

Can you please make a video on good suppliers for the hobby garage mechanic? Thanks

[@mugshotmarley]

IMO there are way more good ones out there than bad ones. Bad suppliers don't last long, and because we're in the day & age of internet/social media, its quite easy to find personal reviews

[@babyjesus2025]

What size expandable wire loom would you recommend using on two 4 gauge wires to hold them tightly together? Thanks

[@jamie_ej1]

Hey Sov, we always put out about 6 free lessons from each course to help promote it, but never the whole course and it's quite different to have all of that organised and on hand via the paid content than it is to have to try and hunt down a random TH-cam video when you need it ;)
I'm not sure if that's what you meant with your comment or not, but just in case there's no need to worry as per above and thanks for your support =) - Taz.

@@hpa101 You're completely right, I was only having a greedy moment, I gotta say we are all very lucky and privileged to have what you guys put online and I personally thank you guys for all the hard and long hours your team must endure. :) I'm always looking forward for more HPA's videos...
