Header wrap, Good or Bad?
I was just reading a post about headers and this came up. I just burnt through my second set of wires in less than 6 months... I wanted to wrap them (Hedman Elites) but was told 
by most everyone I talked to. Can I just wrap them where the wires come close? Or can I wrap the whole header? Any thoughts????

Your best bet is to buy the shielding material that slips over the boots and covers about six inches to allow the wire to pass by the header. I also use several plastic plug wire looms. You can get them to hold two, three or four wires. I installed my looms and shields and have had no problem with melting and I too have Headman Elites.

If they are Headman Elites they are already coated.
