Subject:McMaster Carr has neat stuff

All,
We use MMC a lot at work for small parts and such.  I often have
purchased home use stuff from them.  I was poring through the catalog,
looking for some things for the engine conversion (yes, this is TIICo
related).

I found:
Helical Bundling Wrap Self-Extinguishing Black Nylon, 1/4" Nom OD,
25'Spool - to keep my wires nice and neat and reduce the number of cable
ties.
Kevlar/Aramid Fiberglass Sleeve Packing 5/8" ID, 1/16" Wall Thickness,
650 Deg F Max Temp - to go over the fuel lines and protect from heat and
abrasion (will put these on the Thing, too)
Ceramic Fiber Insulation Strip 2" X 50' X 1/32" Thk, 12 Lbs/cu ft
Density, White - the same header wrap that Jegs will sell you for $35 is
$13 here.
I thought that some of you might be interested in this stuff, even if
you don't have a big overhaul going on.
