Anyone got a link for a place that sells heatwrap? I need to do a setof headers, any idea how much ill need? inc up pipe?

 

www.agriemech.co.uk maybe .com?
Tell them you are off ScoobyNet = discount.

You will need about £50 of 2'' wrap and a can of HTPaint from Halfords when done.
Worst of all you will need some very big jubilee clips or correct wrap clips which cost a fortune.

Oh, and rubber gloves as the wrap contains fibre glass and will itch and itch and itch ..and itch

I would not use the paint on the wrap afterwards. All it really does it stink to high heaven and give a slight improvement in porosity that's not really needed anyway. Stainless locking wire or 0.6mm stainless MIG wire would be my preffered way of securing it.

Thast cool, ill make sure its all secured without painting it. wasnt too keen on doing that anyway!

 

try www.provenproducts.co.uk

 

Nimbus Motorsport sell the DEI wrap. This is closer woven so I would expect better thermal retention and as it has a stitch, .25" from the edge, it is easy to judge the correct overlap and avoid waste.

 

thanks harvey, any idea on price?

 

Ask them. Say I sent you. I have used the others and would not have setttled on Nimbus if they were not competitive. I buy 10 plus rolls at a time as a rule.

 

Thanks.

 

I also use the DEI and it's excellent as Harvey describes.

 

Neil,
This may be the same stuff as Harvey & Paul use:

(search for seller 16 rockchic if the link goes).
I had 100 ft 1" in black for £24 total, supposedly with carbon filament weave and has the stitched seams on it. It doesn't need wetting, just bound on tightly and secured.

Very definately NOT.
