I've used coloured cable ties in the past. One around the wire, and the same colour on the sensor, plug, etc that it connects too. Also works for hoses and stuff too.
Works well on older cars like ours where there isn't many things to connect, but you will start to run out of different colours fast on a newer fuel injected car.
And the cable ties would work for a little while.. But unfortunately I can only seem to find 5-6 different colours
I was thinking of getting a heap of those cheap key chain plastic tags that close on some paper. But they might be too bulky??
If all else fails. I'll just use masking tape and a biro. It's not like its getting left for years for the biro to fade and the tape to unstick. It'll only be a week or so.
Lol yer I've only ever seen 1 other GB on the road on the Gold Coast in 20 years lol
You will find there's only really about half a dozen different colors that are easy to get (red, white, blue, black, green, yellow). But if u start mixing colors eg red/white, red/blue, red/black, then you can easily have more than 50 combinations and it will last forever. Better than tape which will just start coming apart and getting sticky shit all over u when ur trying to work on it in the future. You can even make yourself a little table of what things you have made what color and it will be even easier again to work on in the future, because u can guarantee you will be working on it for as long as you own it
Also, do you still have your gb? The yellow one in the profile pic? And is it registered? Mine will be done before Xmas and is love to meet up and have a shoot
I'm in greenbank (browns plains area), qld. So I'm just a short drive from the coast
Yer I still have the GB. It's been my daily since I first got my license 12 years ago. I'm sure over Chrissy holidays that could happen. It will be the only time I'm not flat out doing a million things
Got my loom all marked up and pulled through. Just gotta unbolt the engine and box and it can all come out... Then just remove the master cylinder. Do some little things like remover the dash so I can refurbish it all. Then she'll go on a trailer off to the panel/paint man
I ended up using coloured zip ties as supercheap didn't have any coloured shrink tape.. There is 10 different colours, so I had plenty of options
Kinda nervous and excited all at once! Excited because this is the last leg of the build, but nervous as this is the first time the car has been outta my hands. It's like my own little child
Did you use 'hammerfinish' silver? Comes up nicely (and good for disguising anything rough). Don't know how the inlet manifold will look in red against the silver. You can't go wrong in classic black (maybe a ripple finish paint, and hit the rocker cover at the same time)
I've got those same filters. There no good. The webers suck too hard that they try and pull the filters in through itself lol I'd only get to 3grand before they would suck into the carbs too much and would just stall the motor. Even tried feeding some wire rod (coat hanger lol) across the face of them to help stop it sucking the filter in but it only got it revving to 5 grand before it would do the same thing
Yea? We're they genuine? Or eBay/Chinese knock offs? The reason I ask is I've had mine screaming! And I mean really screaming.. 8000rpm region. And they're fine.
But if I run into any issues... 4 individual red uni filters will be on straight up!

I'd buy some aluminium flywire mesh and cut out inserts to fit over the trumpets. It should put an end to the webers trying to eat the filters, plus if they backfire and roast the foam it will prevent anything being pulled back into the carbies. A low budget insurance policy.
I'm stoked so far! 
swapped for those nasty hotwires!
