Cable lacing


 

Does anyone know what the wiring harness lacing material is inside, say, a 1A4?

I don't know, but I have a feeling it is waxed nylon webbing about 3mm wide and less than a .5mm thick.
It was a kind of a standard of the 60's 70's even the 80's (in mil contract land).

When I was there during 1966-1971 the lacing was clear and round. It should be listed in one of the Common Design Books.

Probably the same as the stuff used to tie old electric motor windings. I think it's just called "lacing cord" and there are a few different varieties. Some are heat shrinkable. I have a spool here floating around somewhere from when I rewound an old 1930's Emerson electric desk fan.

I have a spool of that clear round plastic. Anybody who needs a few yards, just let me know.

HI Dave! Thanks. I am planning on repairing a damaged 1S1 at some unspecified time... It needs a good cleaning first and there's some damaged wiring. I assume the lacing cord will not survive unlacing and relacing.
I might take you up on that offer one day, since getting this stuff new seems unlikely.
