You sure about that Rob? I'm pretty sure it's plastic covered.

Re: Bilge Pump/K7's Electrics
Yeah, I see that. I think we must have a mixture because most of this dreadful conglomeration has plastic insulation.
[Edit] I've worked it out - the hi-res images of the wiring (which I can't seem to upload) show that it's fabric with a sort of latex outer. You can see the weave through the shiny plastic if you zoom right in. It seems that the latex, or whatever it is, has come off some of the wiring. We'll need to get it out of the stores for a proper look.

Yes i see what you mean there Bill, must be a point somewhere where the fabric stuff branches on to the plastic. Mind some of the stuff on your picture looks like it could have came from an old table lamp. so im just wondering if the wiring was changed over the years. The fabric stuff definately ran aft from the cockpit end. Just caught your edit. Could be fabric after all then.

In the early 50's car wiring was copper covered with rubber insulation then sheathed in a woven fabric colour coded cover-(check out any Austin A30)this was replaced in the early 60's with pcv sheathed wiring with the colours moulded into the insulation-both kinds are still available from the classic car boys-obviously the wiring loom was a hotch potch of the two due to engine change,upgrades here and there and the original will be totally u/s-so which way to go?-remembering every wiring join is a potential trouble spot-up to the Boss on this one!
PS for the "younger" members of the team-at the time the method of distinguishing wiring was to describe it as 2 numbers-the first being the number of strands and the second the diameter of the copper wire in inches-as in 14/.012 which is the normal wiring size for lights etc.
