You can use a Dymo Rhino labeler w/ the heat shrink labels. Cheap to buy too. I would rewire w/ teflon coated wire. It doesn't take long if you make all new wires to the lengths and gauges called out in your manual. Don't mess with your old wire, pull it all and put in new more updated wires.


We used this method last winter when we rewired parts of the Liberty Belle. Each wire was labeled at each end with a circuit number and name. I second the idea of not messing with the old wire, new stuff is usually much easier in the long run.


Will this work with 20 gauge wire? On the dymo web site the smallest heat shrink tube available is 1/4", will need alot of shrink to get a good fit on a small wire.


Hmmm.......most of our wire was between 14-18 gauge, and the biggest problem was the printing would start to get very small on the smaller wires. The stuff we used (it may have been a different brand) seemed to shrink up just fine, and it started out as 1/4".


Yes it does! You print it using small font, and it wraps around using the rubberized labels not the shrink wrap. If you're afraid the labels will come off, a dab of CA glue will do it.
