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?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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