Ribbed Tubing

How about the stuff that you use to wrap cables.  It comes in all sizes, you can hide the seam behind it.

 

Paul,

John's idea would be your better choice. The only draw back would be finding the smaller diameter, less than 1/4". For that you would need to try a automotive specialty shop. 

I've purchased 1/4" wire loom from Summit Racing.  You should be able to get it at most auto parts stores.

Thanks Guys.  I'll check out your ideas tomorrow.

Nice Steve, they have 1/4" solid metal tubing, sounds perfect for the job.

 

 

 

This vendor has self-adhesive raceway on a roll. Beige color only. Folds around wires and then stick to mounting surface. Cut with scissors. 1/4" nominal size.

 

Select cable management on the left menu for wire looms, raceways, etc. When viewing an item, select related items for connectors, clamps and such.

 

The raceway on a roll looked good, but browse around the site.

I think the point was to make it look like a conduit, so the round stuff seems to be more on the mark.

 

One does see both raceway and conduit under overpasses and bridges.

 

There is aluminum tubing available in various diameters.

Hey Steve,

What a great site.  Had just what I wanted.  Thanks!  No luck at Auto supply shops in my area.

In my earlier life, I supported an engineering group with material. McMaster Carr was the place of choice for one stop shopping, except for sophisticated electronics.

Hi Paul,

What did you end up using? Did you like the look? A photo maybe?

Moonman and others,

I ended up using the conduit that Steve recommended and that Gunrunner show in his post.  One problem.  The stuff is to flexible and is hard to get straight for a 8"-10" length.  I managed to get it fairly straight but it does bow out in a few spots.  I am just living with it because it really looks good otherwise.

This is what I found recently.

This is what I need to cleanup my wire chaos.  or maybe it is to late....

Paul, if you insert a tube inside the flex for the length you need straight, it'll keep it straight.  Size the tube to just fit inside.
