Heat tape fell off hey guys, i had my clutch master flushed an had the guys wrap my hydraulic line with some heat reflective tape, when i got back to base i looked under the hood an all of the tape had come off

Company called DEI make a heat sleeve that you cut to length and velcro on so that you don't even have to disconnect the line. Look em up on Summit or wherever...

I'm using heater hose + a DEI spark plug wire fire boot to protect it. The fire boot is around the part that goes near the header collector. My headers are also ceramic coated. The header collector is actually touchable after a few mins of being shut off. Can't say the same for the cat though. Made that mistake once, touched the collector, was like alright, then arm brushed up against cat... 3rd degree burn...

i dont know where you can find it but what i used is the aviation orange electrical heat wrap! my brother is a aircraft machanic thats how i got it but it is real good! excellent for wraping, once the tape sticks to each other it will never pull apart! everysince i put that on my clutch line my clutch fluid has never changed color
