fatkidd Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 This is not a fancy or high profile tip...but merely something that I do to help me and thought I would pass it on to the "family" here. When you are doing plug wires and you are using a larger wire's insulation for the boot material... After you have cut the boot material into the lengths that you will be using, slide all of the boots onto a straight pin. It will stretch the insulation just enough to slide easily onto the plug wires. Like I said, nothing fancy, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diymirage Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 what do you use for plug boots im still trying to figure it out if you buy prewired they come with booth material if your building you own just find a larger gauge wire then the plugs and strip that wire then you can use the insulation as booths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsanders38 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I use the Radio Shack 30 AWG wrapping wire and telephone wire for the insulation. You need a pretty good size pin or needle to stretch it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
