Looking for wireloom and don't feel like spending $15 for yellow or blue wireloom at autozone for like 4 ft of it. Thanks.

Napa and Oreilley's will let you buy boxes of the high quality OEM type loom by the foot or by the box. They stock it in the back for their commercial accounts. Just ask at the counter. I stock loom, weatherpack connectors, pins, insulators, fusible links, and shrink wrap in my garage.

Some of the NAPA stores do carry a stock of the weather packs and connectors although not all of them do. Larry, Moe, & Curly Joe do carry a selection of them although the last time I dealt with them they didn't know what I was talking about. The funny part about that was that the guy I asked was standing in front of them and I saw them when he walked off.

Just have to decide what size you want and color. I've bought loom from them in the past and 20' does'nt sound like much, but it really is quite a bit when your just tiddeying up under the hood.

Just sucks ya have to order it and wait for shipping, but if your planning ahead their cheaper than any parts store can dream of touching for price/quantity on the loom.

Last time I purchased I got the muti sized package since there were times I had a bunch of wires to cover and other times just 1 or 2, so having multiple sizes really covers all bases and it does last forever. It literally lasted me 8 years and countless stereo systems plus all the other frivilous stuff I used it for.
