I got some of this stuff to use when making up the new wiring loom on my Chevy. Its made of polyester, but it gives the loom that braided cover look.

You can get it from here http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/ Along with everything else you could possibly need to re-wire a truck with.

And for that ultra original look they also do braided cable.

Vintage Wireing of Maine is the best :)

Correct color braid with correct color tracer
Correct ends
And Joe has several braiding machines so the loom braiding is also correct as well.
Hope this helps

I have purchase loom through these folks to do my trailers and fire truck. They make many different sizes and sell it in bulk.

Here is the loom specific page:
