I just called BD to add to my order, but in talking with the
rep I learned that what they sell protects against puncture,
not heat. Is that the function of the original sheathing as
well, or does it protect against contact with hot engine parts.
As the sheathing they have is not in stock, I'm hoping to get
something that I can install this weekend.

Stan, what size (and brand) heat shrink do you use, and does it
remain pliable or harden with added heat?
