I had my old Ford 860 apart for some other repairs. I had purchased an after market wiring harness about 15 years ago to replace the original. The insulation on the aftermarket harness was hard, cracked and falling off. I just rewired it using spools of primary wire I had from other left over from previous jobs for customers.
I used Dorman Braided Loom to cover the wires. I found it at O'Reilly's. It is looks similar to the original braided covering on the original harness, except it is black plastic. More expensive, but much nicer to work with that the corrigated plastic stuff. It is split do you do not have to feed the wire through it. You slip it over the wires, and it is easy to route a wire out the side if necessary.
I also covered the water temp and oil pressure lines with it. I had to get a new temp gauge that has plastic line to the probe.
Only thing I don't like about it, the ends fray when you cut it. I used a soldering gun to melt the ends after cutting.
Time will tell if mice like it, but I have not had any issues with mice and wires. I do have trouble with them building nests in air cooled engines. Search for rolling log mouse trap to help with mouse control. Menards has them on sale now.
