thermal exhaust wrap
just wondering how big a roll to order to cover my manifold to keep the temp down under the bonnet
I was thinking of a 50 ft by 2 inches roll, does this sound enough

thats good news Rich!
I have never used exhaust wrap myself, and I know the BEC version of these cars usually have more room than normal cars, but a mate of mine who
rally's swears he'd never use the 2 inch stuff again, he always uses the 1 inch stuff now!
Like I say, it might be fine with a bit more room, but he said it was a bit of a pain...

Yeah the 1" stuff is better for curved tubes. Be aware though that the consenses is that header wrap will quickly destroy mild-steel tubing.

I used steam pipe wrap on my exhaust, only cost £6, it is 2" but quite thick, its been there 2 years without any problems.
PS What is it supposed to do to mild steel?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My piece of advice is never use the cheap stuff!
Spent some money now to avoid spending some serius money later.
A friend of mine lost his car from exhaust wrap (catch fire)
