Funk Motorsport Black Self Wrap Protection Sleeving for Automotive Heat Management

What This Heat Protection Sleeving Does

Funk Motorsport's Black Self Wrap Protection Sleeving is designed to shield automotive wiring, hoses, and sensor lines from heat and abrasion in demanding environments. Its self-wrapping, open-seam construction allows for quick installation around existing cables without disconnecting components, making it ideal for both new builds and retrofits. The sleeving springs back to a secure fit, keeping wiring organised and protected from engine bay heat, vibration, and chafing.

Where This Sleeving Is Most Useful

This sleeving is particularly valuable for motorsport, off-road, and performance road vehicles where engine bay temperatures and harsh conditions can threaten electrical reliability. It is well-suited for:

• Bundling and protecting engine loom wiring in high-heat zones
• Shielding sensor cables and vacuum lines near exhaust manifolds or turbos
• Organising auxiliary wiring for lighting, winches, or air compressors
• Reducing abrasion risk in areas exposed to movement or vibration
• Supporting cable management in custom or modified vehicles

Whether you are preparing for track days, overland expeditions, or rugged off-road use, this sleeving helps maintain electrical integrity and reduces the risk of heat-induced failures.

Key Benefits for Vehicle Builders and Enthusiasts

• Easy installation around existing wiring and hoses without disconnecting
• Open seam design for fast inspection and maintenance access
• Flexible, cut-to-length sizing for tailored fitment
