Heat shield

Is there some kind of heat shield wrap I can get?

I need to wrap up my 2/0

Its real close to the engine and real hot too.

You can get this stuff at parts express. Works pretty good, and it comes in assorted sizes :)

I think it may be too small.


Would that completely protect the wires though, something like that?

Yeah man, it comes in different sizes and is expandable. :)

I used heater hose from an autoparts store to protect the wire in my car and my buddies truck. Figure it's designed to carry hot fluids/etc under the hood of a car, so it's strong, weather/abuse resistant and has a good heat tolerance.

I think Im gonna try that stuff ramos said, than either use squeaks on top of that, or wrap it with heat shielding wrap.

Ah the bigger sizes arent as good as sheilding as that smaller one you found ramos.

This is nice. I use it on some of my wiring in the engine compartment. Do a search on "Heat Sheath".

Some smaller sized header wrap looks cool too.
