Know where I can get/order any?

I have tried Autozone, O'Reilly, Pep Boys... no luck.
Cruised Summit catalog and called their customer svc, and they don't have any either.

+'s for help (but ya'll'd help without 'em I know...)

I dont have the slightest clue where to find them, But i know where I'd start. People at swap meets usually have stuff like this. Either that or I'd go the the junkyard and pull off what I needed.

Or you can buy the braided stainless stuff. Have you checked in Jegs or summit?

Just some thoughts.

You need to look under Nylon braided sleeving.

Here is where you can order the flame-retardant sleeving:

http://www.mcmaster.com/ <-- that place has alot of stuff like that , you should be able to find it there although im not sure haha i havent had a chance to go through even 1/4 of their catalog of stuff.

*EDIT* look under electrical / sleeving to find some , dunno if any of that is what you want or not.

Thank you for the replies. I pos'd all respondants, except for Oreif, who had a pos from me since like day 1.

Summit is no luck. And I don't have a Jegs catalog.
The stuff Oreif showed is either it, or darn close!
The other link by wepon was full of interesting things to explore.

More pos's available...

Go back to Summit Racing and do a keyword search for Nylabraid. It's made by Spectre. They have it for radiator hoses all the way down to vacuum lines in many colors.

Look at Summit part # SPE-4002A. It is a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" red nylon hose protector. Should work fine.......Paul

Jegs online catalog is http://www.jegs.com

Thanks again... Jazzman gave me a link that has this stuff A LOT cheaper.
(+)'s all around!

I need to jump in and ask this, If I get a wire cover for the engine bay, will 200 degrees be high enough or would I need a higher rated material?

The stuff I ordered had a temp rating to 440 and a melt point of 257 degrees. If it is above 250 in your engine bay, you have more worries than what this nylon guard is doing. Most plastic wire loom is not rated that high.

That is why I am asking, I am looking at stuff with a 200 melt rating.

The OEM is Nylon and you can buy it here: http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/conduit.shtml or maybe cheaper elsewhere.

Kento,

I would think that as long as the loom met OEM specs, you'd be okay. Now don't ask me what OEM is rated, but I do know that loom has been standardized. As long as you get loom that has the white stripe, you will at least equal OEM. The pic above is an example of such loom. 200 degrees may be enough, but if I was using plastic loom in the back, you can bet it will be striped. The front trunk and interior can use either.

I have been warned here and other places about using colored loom. It usually has a lower melt point.

I am looking at Yellow stuff with a 200 rating, will use the High temp Chrome stuff next to the engine to be safe.

Unless I want to spend big $$$ for the Yellow Kevlar @ $44 for 50' of the little stuff :-)

"KevlarŪ (KV) is a soft, flexible sleeving used to bundle and/or protect wires, hoses and wire harnesses from extreme environmental conditions. Kevlar is braided from aramid fibers and has a unique combination of durability, pliability and high tensile strength. Kevlar has excellent thermal stability permitting long-term use at temperatures up to 160° C/320° F without significant strength loss.

KevlarŪ does NOT melt or support combustion. Short term exposures (several minutes) as high as 300° C/572° F can be tolerated. KevlarŪ sleeving offers strength and durability, yet is relatively light in weight. It is mostly used in the fiber optic and electromechanical cable industries where high temperatures and durability are required of the protective sleeving. "

Back to the original question, the stuff is called "abrasion protection sleeve". Might be able to get it locally at a hydraulic hose supply place. If not, you can buy it by the foot on-line at: http://www.go2marine.com/frameset.jsp?servletPath=/g2m/action/GoBPage/id/64046F/hiLiteSku/64051/categoryId/11597
