Thanks Boys,

I have some shrink wrap, but I was talking to the guy that rewinds coils in Brissie and he said he always uses black PVC ( ?? I have NFI about plastics) tube as it kind of stays smooth.  I find I can't get the shrink wrap to look any good especially if you have 2 wires :'(.  Just looks untidy - maybe I am holding my mouth wrong  :-\

Thats for the black plastic sleeving (not heat shrink)

If you have any motorcycle or auto electrical places nearby just ask them where they get it or they may even sell you some.
