- at least one mat of one of hook type and a loop type material operable to cover a substantial portion of a predetermined wire pathway on a work machine;
- and
- at least one strip of the other of the hook type and the loop type material operable to wrap respective portions of the wire and to mate with the one of the hook type and the loop type material of one of the mats.
An apparatus for attaching a wire with a work machine, comprising:
- at least one mat of one of hook type and a loop type material operable to cover a substantial portion of a predetermined wire pathway on a work machine;
- and
- a plurality of strips of the other of the hook type and the loop type material operable to couple with respective portions of the wire and to mate with the one of the hook type and the loop type material of one of the mats.
An apparatus for attaching a wiring harness with a work machine, comprising:
- at least one mat of one of hook type and a loop type material operable to cover a substantial portion of a predetermined wiring harness pathway on a work machine and shaped to generally conform with the shape of the predetermined wiring harness pathway;
