On the frame I'm not expecting issues being the rail separates the exhaust. It's the stock location starter to front of the motor below the exhaust. Stock it just uses the high temp convoluted. For me the Marine tinned wire's insulation does not have the high temp automotive option.

 

Oh how much I would like to derail this thread on everyone's favorite wire loom but I'll have to contemplate starting a new one.

 

 

Got a newly released video for all you zip tiers to watch.

 

Gee, at room temp just about all could lift a 6.0L head with a single tie. And with about a dozen you could lift the motor ........

 

I never thought the Harborfreight ones would do so well.

 

I agree since so much of their stuff gets knocked for quality & performance. The last ones I bought for a trailer refurb came from HF & are holding up fine.

 

In some cases you want something cheap because you don't want to take the oxy-actl to you nice EXPENSIVE Snap-On wrench and bend it in a shape for a job.
No problem doing that to a Harbor Freight is not so bad to heat up and bend to meat the need.


Then there is the case where what they have does a really good job. So you get the tool that does the job.
