Peter,
Check your local speed shop which sells header wrap. Not that you have
to wrap your headers. The same company makes a heat resistant sleeve for
wiring and fuel lines. It just slips over. It's not clear, but isn't a
tight fit either. You should be able to slide it back off the wiring to
make sure your hooking things up to the right places, then slide it back
over.
