Default Any recommendations on heat shielding for wires?

On the 58, there some wires going to the engine including the temp sensor that has a fabric type of shielding.
Can anyone recommend a heat shielding sleeve for about #18 gauge wire...not necessarily the fabric.

The temp sending unit wire uses a separate woven black tarry substance (like a straw) to shield it from heat where it travels along the inboard edge of the valve cover - all of the usual suppliers have them.

I have the insulation on the temp wire...which is actually in great shape. I was looking for something like this for my other wires that are going to the valve covers...but was wondering if there was something else out there.
