    electrical tape or heat shrink?

    i just finished this swap for a guy . i was going to give it to him like this but my buddy told me to wrap the wires. i already have too much time in this thing. i think it would be just fine as this is how i do all my work and ive had no issues. but do you think i should use some electrical tape on the connectors or just send it down the road? im tired of fucking with it for what im getting paid

    little heat shrink if it were me.


    But some wide Electrical tape and tape that rats nest up in to a Giant ball would prolly be faster and look no better and no worse than what you got going on there now.

      Very funny Blunt - just set it on fire already. It's going to happen sooner or later anyways.

                Alloy rivets? The key is in the details.

                    Looks good to me. Maybe a dab of two stage epoxy in the base of those 10-14g wire nuts.

                      Just spray paint the whole mess all black, It will look like tape or whatever and you will save time.


                      *edit* lol there is 2 hose clamps holding that shit together.
