Heat Protective Covering
SVA man says my alternator leads are too close to my 4:1 so I need to cover the wires.
Can anyone suggest where I can get some heat protective sleeving.
I've seem some in Vehicle Wiring Products catalog but only good for upto 150 degrees C so not sure if he will be OK that.
I thought of lagging the downpipes instead but not sure if this will help enough and opinion seems divided as to whether it's worth it.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

Hi mate
I lagged my downpipes and built a heatshield. One of the members on here had some spare.
You can buy from RallyDesign/BurtonPower etc - quite expensive - or get some from another car in the scrapyard

~Yup this is an early photo - exhaust has more ties on now etc

Im sure you can get heat proof sleeving from RS etc. Not sure what protection it provides.
On my pinto install i routed the wires around the front and along carb side away from exhaust for this very same reason - this might be a locost
solution without needing to buy / wait for anything.
