Cheers.

Spiwrap is used on the better class of heavy duty trucks, KW, Western Star,Mack, on the air piping and wiring purely for protection

Hmm, good info. I'd like some of that. If there's a minimum quantity on an order, I'd take 1-2 rolls.

From their site:

tesa Cable bundling tapes

tesa 51608/51606 : thick PET fibre tapes for noise insulation of cabling tapes in the passenger compartment of cars.
tesa 51006 : PET cloth tape for cabling tapes in the motor compartment (oil/fuel resistant)

tesa 4163/4173 : soft PVC cabling tapes

I prefer the split tube, easier to do modifications to the loom at future dates
