Helpe needed to identify Fabric/cloth tape to cover openings

[6s1640]

Hi all,

Just behind the fastback quarter panel, driver side, there is a cutout that wiring passes through for the courtesy light in the quarter panel.  There is tape covering the hole the wire came through.  Below is an image of that tape.  Any suggestions on some new tape that matches this old tape.  It is very near 2.75 inches wide.  There was some same tape to also protect the wiring from a sheet metal edge where the wiring exited the hole.  I would bet the tape was original black but has aged/faded to this green color.

Thanks

Cory

Black gaffers tape is a good match, it comes in different widths.

Hi Charles,

Thank you for the lead.  I have never heard of gaffer's tape.  Looks like a good possibility.  I can get in 3 inches and cut down to 2.75.

Take care

Guys, is this the same type of tape we see used to fasten down the fuel gauge wire in the trunk? Thanks

Trust me on this. It's gaffers tape. Try it. You'll like it.

The "factory" used it like they got it for nothing.
