    1969 Wiring Harness tape

    Can anyone tell me what thickness the non adhesive tape used to wrap the harnesses together was?

      Sorry folks, I mispoke. It's the width of the tape I need, not the thickness.
      Thanks, need another cup of Jo

        Hi Rick,
        The tape on my 71's engine harness measured 1 3/16" in width.
        Regards,
        Alan


        PS: I put the extra space in the dimension because otherwise it looks like 13/16" which it's not.

          Bill Clupper has the answer -- he has posted it before -- on the old board. He worked for Packard Electric -- the makers of the wiring harnesses. I think the width changed in 1969, but it is best to let him speak.

              1.3 inch wide, .007 thich non-adhesive backed vinyl tape. The start of the 1969 model year was the first year for the 1.3 inch tape, prior years used 1 inch. A nice old lady got a $10,000 suggestion award (maximum at the time for suggesting the change.
