Does anyone have a source for the cloth-covered wiring used in the engine compartment?

YnZ's Yesterdays Parts has cloth covered wire in stock, and they also sell custom manufactured wiring harnesses. They can make you anything you want that's not a stock item.

They are also set up to custom braid the cloth loom covering on multiple wire harnesses if you want to send them a harness to have recovered with new cloth.  I can highly recommend them for quick turnaround time and good quality workmanship.

Are you looking for the old cloth braided cable insulated or the woven fiberglass heat resistant sheaths that go over the wires that run over the motor?   Like covering the temp or oil pressure sensor wire.

Others on this forum have recommended YnZ's Yesterdays Parts. Another supplier that I've often heard highly recommended here in New England is Rhode Island Wiring Service Inc.
http://www.riwire.com/
They cover Cadillac models 1940 - 1957, at least. 

Another is: Harnesses Unlimited in Pennsylvania
http://www.harnessesunlimited.com
Their Cadillac line stops in 1952.

You can find very specific recommendations on this message board. Good luck!
