Homer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Is there an off the shelf product that can be used to attach the exhuast wrap? I can't seem to find anything suitable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Lockwire is what's used on my car. Cheap and easy to use and there's more than enough to do the manifold, downpipe and secure the turbo blanket on about 10 cars! http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1613 OR http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1627 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Now its clear what I need, thanks very much guys Darryl, i have loads of them metal cable ties, i'll give you some when you come around Friday Cheers Lee, If you could spare 2 or 3 that'd save a lot of hassle waiting around for deliverys. Might also mean I get the car running this weekend as this is the *last* think on the list to find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I find a jubilee clip at both ends and a load of the aluminium foil sticky tape looks good. The alu foil tape also protects the wrap from oil (once covered in oil it just keeps burning ) Bling too !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 A place near me sells metal cable ties for under £1 each in packs of about 10 I think, so shop around a bit. They are a bastard to install though, and non-reusable Wetting the wrap is a really good idea as not only does it then shrink-to-fit, but also it stops most of the dust -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I sell reels of stainless tie wrap flat strip, and the locking clips seperately, so you can have a 10 foot long cable tie, or a 2 inch long one, with little wastage. I used this on Wez's car, and he commented how neat a job it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
