    Source for this ground steel ribbon cable

    Name: 100_3349.jpg Views: 278 Size: 79.2 KB
    Anyone know of a source for this style of cable. I've tried EagleDay & other local electrical outlets but they will supply in 12" lengths or 20' spools - neither of which are realistic options for me. This cable is part of the engine bay harness. A good portion of my existing cable is damaged beyond any re-use.
    Thanks & Cheers

    THis is probably not steel. But rather tinned copper...

    You can probably find this kind of stuff by the meter with retail electrical suppliers.

    But Jim is probably a good source, and original!

    That looks a lot like EMI shielding or braided ground straps used in aerospace. That might just be the most expensive possible source but you could "upgrade" to silver-plated copper. One source is Glenair.

    Thanks Guys
    McMaster-Carr seems hesitant to ship to customers north of the 49th, therefore not much hope for me there. I would like to chase "edmayo's" suggestion of EASY. I am unfamiliar with the acronym, tried a google search & couldn't come up with anything reasonable. Also "Olivier's" suggestion of 'Jim'
    Thanks & Cheers

    Try these guys, I found them to be very customer oriented. I purchased their ground strap when I built a harness for my engine...good guys.
