 The outer diameter refers to the overall cable, including the insulator. The AWG gauge is calculated measuring the diameter of the single strand and calculating the overall cross-sectional area; then the nearest value is looked into the [[wp>American_wire_gauge|AWG gauge table]].
+===== Insulating tape =====
+The main **wiring harness** is assembled using extensive **electrical tape**, both for the external wrapping and to insulate some internal connections. These are the characteristics of the tapes used:

+^  Color  ^  Width  ^  Thickness  ^
+| Black   |  20 mm  |  0.10 mm |
+| Blue    |  40 mm  |  0.20 mm |
+The black tape is very soft and flexible, unlike the ones commonly found on the market which have a thickness of 0.13 or even more.
 ===== Connectors =====
-The mini connectors used into the wiring harness are the **MTW Sumitomo** unsealed series, with **2.8 mm** terminals (mini). Here are the part numbers:
