High Temp resistant electrical wire
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

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
