I have some of that steel braided sleeving you put around your hoses to make them appear like real bradied hoses which I defenitly won't use.

Would this be good to put over wiring for heat protection? I'm talking mainly about my starter wiring that is dangerously close to my headers.

 

I wouldnt use it because steel is a great conductor not resistor, so it would take the heat in and just melt the wires probably.

 

I was definitely thinking that but its got to be better than plastic wire loom...or should I use both?

 

If you want to protect your wires from heat, try some insulating tape or header wrap or something similar.

 

im shure if you go to summitracing.com you would be able to find some form of wire wrap or cover, i know that they carry alot of different types of spark wire sleeves and such

Well I have some sleeving I bought from McMaster Carr (that site is the sheeeeet BTW...one of my favorites to browse around) thats designed for extremely high heat and I ended up using that since its also what I have my starter cable wrapped with.

I just wanted to see if this would be a decent idea, I want to use up this braided sleeivng I have. I guess I'll stick with this as a wire loom substitute to protect against wires rubbing on other things.
