Question Covering 90º Bullets? - 02.18.2009, 01:41 AM

I have to run 90º bullets from the rear of my motor in order fore wires to be long enough and so everything clears correctly.
Is there a way to shrinkwrap them so they'll be covered? or some sort of other cover?
Any pics, help, or links would be appreciated.
P.S. they're 6.5mm CC bullets

I personally just shrinkwrapped mine and doubled the tubes for better protection. You can shrinkwrap them right up to where they connect and even make an overlap if you wish. It actually works pretty well if you do it right. Good luck with that.

Could also "paint" some plastidip on them. But I just use heatshrink and do something like Jerry said.

I guess I'll get a few different sizes of shrinkwrap and give it a try until I find something else.

Electrical tape works well. One piece around the outside corner, one around the front (round edge) of that corner, and one around the wires on each side of the corner.

Electrical tape is fine for basic low voltage connections, but not where heat is a normal factor. The heat causes the adhesive to turn gooie and the tape will seperate. This is the exact reason that heatshrink was developed and is normally used where constant heat is an issue. Aside from heatshrink and/or platidip there really isn't any easy solution that I have seen. There are several ways you can cut and install heatshrink and it holds up well to heat in this application. Trial and error is what works.

+1^^^ I've used this stuff. Not the neatest finish although. I think it comes in red too.

Yea, I have some of that liquid electrical tape, but I'd rather have a better final finish.
