SILVER/GREY PVC SLEEVING
« on: January 12, 2023, 11:46:16 AM »
Hi all,
              Come across a bit of a stumbling block on the refurbish of the control switchgear on the CD175 (sloper).
The PVC sleeving is a Silver/Grey colour, I can source it from the states but can't seem to find any UK/Europe.
Has anyone come across a supplier of this.
Cheers.

Only place I can think of is Kojaycat but I'm guessing you have tried them?

This is a neat 500 restoration in the USA.

I got some grey sleeving from RS Components when I made a new wiring loom for my Lambretta, they do heat shrink in grey as well to match.

It's more silver than Grey.
Don't think heat shrink will look OK.

The only suppliers are in in USA..silver/grey gloss pvc cable sleeve (6,8,11mm dia). Not found anyone in the UK/Euro that stocks it ?
I do have some black gloss sleeve manufactured for me within the UK (20mm dia), but the minimum order is a 1,000 metres.
Tried many other supplies UK/Euro...it's either heat-shrink or pvc matt finish or thick tube.
