Default Wiring in general - Braided sleeving

In an effort to clean up my wiring, I've been looking for Braided Sleeving. I think I've found the jackpot .

www.techflex.com - makes just about anything you'd ever want. Most of it's available from McMaster Carr.

Specifically, if looking for PET, then use the FR versions in either full tube, or wrap.

NOTE, they also have Kevlar for those runs where you want absolute protection, or Nomex for that high heat applications.

Also on the firewall forward side.... While not from the above company - google "roundit 2000nx" and you'll find a split nomex type sleeve.

Hope this helps.

Default Convoluterd tubing

...on a slightly different topic...
I've been looking for a source for convoluted tubing that IS NOT SPLIT and of about 1/2" dia. Most auto parts stores have the stuff but it is split.

Van's sells a larger size...7/8" I think...that builders use in the wings.

Anyone know of any sources?
