Friction Tape

Check in the Palmer book. He gives the correct width. If memory serves its wider than the common 3/4” wide tape.

The coroplast can be order in 3 different widths.
The factory used two widths of tape on the harness, Depending on which area of the chassis the harness was taped.
Not sure if my picture showed up in post #11? I've been having issues lately with my phone posting images...

Anyhow, be sure to order two different widths if your looking to replica OEM.

Either way, it's better than zip ties!

Hope this helps,
Duke Kleman

If that's really wide tape in post #11, Duke,

I've never seen anything like it!

Late edit:
I did find this in my references, but forgot whom to credit...

Wait a minute, this '49 makes everything look equal:

I've an accordion case full of salvaged harnesses, but it may be some time before I can pick through it for clues.
