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.

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

Yes you can get a silicone insulated wire, i used to use it on fire fighting systems, i think i still might have some at home some ware.

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

Intersting, the Cabac fibreglass sheathing is only rated to 180C, http://www.cabac.com.au/products/cable-management-and-fixings/fibreglass-slee... while the stuff from Jaycar is rated to 450C http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=WS5504  but only seems to come in dia's up to 3.5mm
