Heat shielding replacement for the A/C lines? (Page 1/1)

Hey guys... we're re-doing my daughter's engine bay... and one of the last things we need to put back are the A/C lines. That said... the A/C lines have this fabric cover that goes over them, and it's totally trashed... like completely falling apart, and I just don't want to put it back like that.

I found something VERY similar on eBay, and even has Velcro so I can re-attach it without having to sew it (though I'll probably do that anyway)... the only problem is... it's not wide enough to go completely around the A/C lines...

Anyone know where there's something similar to this.. just wider?


Thanks!

it's fiberglass foil based insulation. some hvac places have it plus you can extend those covers with some aluminum tape and it works a treat. also exhaust heat wrap covered in that aluminum tape is a decent replacement

Perhaps Another Idea?

Thermo-Flex Aluminum Heat Shield

Thanks guys... it just occurred to me, and I feel kind of stupid. I can just buy two of those (from Amazon or eBay), and wrap the individual pipes/hoses. I don't need the big one (which doesn't really do a great job anyway).
