Reply to "What are these strips of paper glued over the FM motors?"

I believe that that is a woven fiber glass tape. It is intended for high temperature applications. All the FM s I have worked on have it. Glass tape is still available and I put a new piece of glass tape on to hold things in place. Many of the earlier diesels have a variety of metal clips to restrain the wires. I think the glass tape was a money saving change.
