I have a freind that works for a motor home company. They build motor homes. Well a lot of wiring go's into these motor homes so they use numbered wiring. They have a machine that intalls numbers onto the wiring. Thats cool enough but not what I found. The thing is that some times a wire will have to be replaced. When that happens they have little rolls of numbered tape inside a container and they go from "0" to "9" you just open the container for the desired number and peel off an inch or so of tape to stick to your wire.
This stuff is great for numbering your wiring when doing a restore that may be apart for months or years. You can find it at an electrical supply store. The rolls of tape are not very long but you can buy refills for the numbers you need. Way cool stuff.

We use a lot of those for boom disassembly. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,445 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,445 | If you have a photographic memory like Rusty Rod, then you dont need anything...

I bought Panduit when I was buying for a communications shop. Like I said, there's a lot out there. | | |
