I had to run the radiator lines trhough whats left of my cab since there isn't to many other places to run them. And I need some way of wrapping them, so they won't burn me when I touch them. I know ive seen roll bars wrapped for head protection, but will that hold up to heat. The lines are 1.75". Any suggestions on what and where to get something for this?

We get it from a plumbing supply place. Lots of different ID's.

yea, home depot has the plumging stuff that should work for that, but I'm betting the roll bar stuff would work well too. Hard part is going to be finding something that is that large of a diameter. I got my roll bar padding from jegs.com

Commercial Pumping supply shop.
Make sure the foam padding has a fairly thick
wall say 5/8". This is due to when you warp it with the black tape it is difficult to get it to NOT look lumpy/bumpy with thinner wall foam tubing, also if you bang on it you will be happy about having the thicker foam wall for cushioning.
The Commercial Pumping supply shop should also have the tape, get it wide maybe 4" wraps smoother and covers faster, insure you overlap about 3/4 ". Good Luck. Try to keep even tension when wrapping.
Also if the inside diameter of the foam tubing is wider than the the diameter of the pipe you wish to apply it to, just cut a section of the tubing out to meet your specific diameter needs.
Hope this helps
