Wire Covering!

[Brakers]

Hi Everybody

Now here is a quick question I’m sure one or more of you good people have had to acquire; on the habitation door there is wires coming from the chassis through to the internal of the habitation door.

The rubber concertina covering which is supposed to protect the wires is damaged and in bits and I want to replace it with a new shroud.

I’ve typed all sorts into Google to try and find such rubber coverings for habitation door but come up with nothing.

Does anyone know exactly what this rubber shroud that protects the wires is actually called, and where to acquire such an item?

Try 'rubber bellows'

Thanks Richard that is what I like nice and easy

Be prepared for a bit of a nightmare changing it as you might have to work back to cable connections

You do realise to fit the bellow type you will have to strip out your door loom and remove and refit any plugs inside the door to feed cables through.
Dont fancy that, look for split or spiral cable protector.
Both can be fitted without dismantling.spiral would be my choice.

Thanks that might be a better idea, I never thought of that,

Hi in the Bike world they are called Gators, but the best option would be split copex

Or you could buy a proper bellows, split it lengthwise with a Stanley knife, fit around the wires then 'rubber solution' (inner tube patch glue) the joint back together.

the few I have repaired, I used split conduit to protect the repaired wire taped at each end to prevent it slipping or chafing the wire

Or you could cut the two wires, fit the new gator and solder them back together as the gator concertinas up so you can do that. Worked for me! Put the joins in the section the runs straight, near the door end.
