Hi guys

I'm sick of wire that has been in the engine bay for some time and exposed to heat getting hard are nasty looking.

Does anybody know where I can get some heat resistant wire or is there some sort of high heat resistant "heat shrink"?

Regards
Greg

You can buy a fibreglass sheave that slips over the top and is heat resistant. RS components or element 14.
Customer service is not dead in Australia.

Always after HAZET & MATRA & VW factory tools

Thanks mate

I was also believe that there is also wire that uses a high heat resistant silicone based outer coating...

Dont Know if this helps..but I used a Fibreglass waterproof braided sheath from an electrical wholesaler the brand is CABAC..it comes in various sizes but unfortunately doesnt come in a rainbow of colours..Its worth going into an Electrical wholesaler and ask to have a look through there catalogues..Anyway heres a pic of my wiring with the fibreglass sheath,heatshrinked ends and waterproof connectors..cheers Snitz 🙂

Silicon coated wire is probably the best solution but the fibreglass heat resistant sheath can be got here Heat resistant sheath
