Spark Plug Wire Questions...
I have a couple questions...
I just replaced my original plug wires with 8mm wires. I noticed the the original wires had 'chafe guards' on them in areas where there would be potential chafing problems. So, I cleaned and reused the chafe guards to help protect the new wires. Does anyone know if someone offers these chafe guards? Or has anyone found an alternative material to use instead of the original? Given the high price of some of these wire sets and the tight areas where these wires are routed, it would seem to be a good idea to protect them where possible... Any suggestions??? :confused:

I could swear I saw some of that stuff at Home Depot. I'm just about positive Taylor Cable products(Taylor Wires) make all kinds of stuff like that. I think they've got them in different colors.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Ole Dog is right about Home Depot. I bought 2 packages of their black wire looms (1 for each side of the engine). Works slick, at least on OEM 7mm wires.

Home Depot eh?
Don't buy from Schucks and Napa! Bleh, I got a pair of theirs to try (pack said fits 7-8mm). Yeah right! It freaking started ripping one of the wires covers geuss I probably get to go buy new wires now huh?
Home depot should be checked out but I have also heard really good things about Made for You looms.
Good luck
