Default Injector harness

Made up a new injector harness for my V12.

Not much to talk about; just about everything that can said about making up an FI harness as already been said over the years. Tons and tons of choices for wiring and sheathing out there. Keeping with the budget/simplicity theme of this project......

From the local parts store I used readily available Thermotec heat shield tape to cover the wires and Scapa electrical tape to wrap things up. This cloth electrical tape gives a nice finished appearance. Tessa and 3M offer similar products. I had leftover high-temp wire from previous harness projects. Injector connectors from Ebay, about $3.00 each as I recall.

I've included a pic of the harness as the Thermotec was being installed

Doug,
How are the wires actually electrically connected to the injector connectors?

I have a bunch of V12 parts, injectors, ECU, ignition cap and wires, 20 thousand relays of every imaginable color, and who knows what else is in there. from a 1989 XJ-S V12

The injector connectors I bought have wire 'pigtails' so it just a matter of clipping them to the appropriate length and soldering them to the other wires

I think I posted a link to a different variety of tape than I actually use and prefer. I've attached a pic of the type I prefer; I'll try to get more info. It give a much better appearance than the vinyl-plastic electrical tapes.

Cheers
