Sling 4: Using Lacing Cord To Bundle Wires

In this video, I demonstrate the technique to bundle a group of wires together using lacing cord. I used lacing cord instead of zip ties, which can chafe the wire over time under vibration.
I am using lacing cord to build up the main wiring harness bundle, which runs from the instrument panel to the rest of the fuselage.

lacing wire bundles is a great way to go, it impresses people who see it, it is easy to do, and after you get used to doing it, it is something you get into a routine that is almost zen like

The only part I don’t like is the sticky wax residue on my fingers, lol... but I agree, I think it looks much more professional if done properly.

LoL - my first aviation boss would have fired me for wasting all that lacing cord on the tail end.... He was great!

Hi Looks good what is the p/n of the lacing cord and where do you purchase from?

[@jetshine9985]

I bought it from same place I bought my wire, Prowire USA. I looked at the receipt, they just call it black lace cord, 250ft spool, no particular part number.
