Just thought I would share this with everyone, not sure if this is the right catagory to post but is i/o engine related. Anyhow, it makes for a neat job getting those wires all situated nicely, you can use the same method for pairs, threes, whatever, I went from 4 down to 2 right up to about 6" from the plug ends. Just look at the photos and I'll add that you can increase the spacing just by adding an extra tie between each wire, and I like to roll the nubs underneath once I've trimmed the ends off.

Yep a70, a good technique for sure. I'll have to store that one away for future use. Good job!

This is a standard way of securing wires or pipes (including rubber tubes) together or to a flat surface (using the second cable tie as a stand-off) but it's a great idea to post it for everyone's benefit.

Good idea, but plastic 2/3/4 seperation clips are available (still a good post/idea though)

We all understand that seperation clips for wires are still being produced,:rolleyes: but this poster has what I can only see as being really practical as well as an orderly way of sorting out those wires...... Thanks :D
