    You can get friction tape from hardware stores. It is cloth tape that only sticks to itself. It looks like it is the same stuff you linked but you shouldn't have to order it. I paid $2-3 a roll for it I think.

      They make some split loom that looks the same and if you have a problem spot or a place where you think you will want to get in to the wires you can use it for easy access.

        I have used a vinyl electrical tape that doesn't use adhesive so stick to itself, just friction. Aside from being too shiny its a great way to go.

              i just put military grade heatshrink on all of the chassis harness in my engine bay. it was easy because the pins come out of almost all of the connectors, so nothing has to be cut
