Title: Shrink tubing questions (for pickup wires...)
Post by: ducatiz on July 08, 2011, 04:41:11 AM

I'm rewiring pickups. Just leave it at that..

I'm using MIL-W-16878/4 wire which is perfect for being in hot oil, but I need an outer jacket to hold the wires together.

I need a shrink tubing that is flexible once heated -- and is heat/oil resistant. I am looking at the XLPO but I don't have a sense of how flexible it is after heating.

Any input?

Look for some viton. It has good heat resistance and is good against oils and fuels. It's also very flexible when shrunk.
