Bob:



You mentioned Dacron lacing as a good alternative to high temp wire ties in the engine compartment.  Is there a good place to get the material and where would I find a tutorial on how to lace?

      I don't recommend a "running lace" for

      aircraft wiring. Spot ties used on the same

      frequency as you might use tie-wraps is

      preferred. See:



http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/cable_lace/cable_lace.html



      Aircraft Spruce, Steinair, and many electronic supply

      houses stock lacing tape. See:



http://www.aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Misc/Lacing_Tape/



      My favorite is the Type II, Size 3, Finish B but

      they're all suited to your task.

Intersting as the avionics shop on my field said using wax covered lacing cord was not appropriate under the cowling.  Comments?

    The clove hitch methodology (I) leaves the knot

    in tension and would probably be more secure

    if not waxed. I've not had any knots come loose

    when you tie 'em up like (II) . . .



http://aeroelectric.com/articles/cable_lace/cable_lace.html



    The knot serves only to provide a "lump" that

    stops the free ends from slipping though the noose-

    loop, there's little or no tension on the final

    knot.



    Actually, I think the waxed cord gets you a tighter

    knot because the string slides over itself easier

    during the tightening process. But all the

    listed tapes are better than nylon-tie wraps.
