Engine bay wiring insulation options?
I've noticed that more of the insulation on wiring in my engine bay is in poor shape - becoming brittle, and cracking and crumbling in some places. As far as I can tell, the wiring underneath, and the inner insulation is still holding up, but the outer sheaths are not in good shape. One or two of the rubber boots, for example at the base of the TPS sensor, are also cracking and looking like they could do with replacing.
Are there any good approaches to replacing/refreshing this stuff, other than a new wiring loom?

For fuel lines arnnworx has a good price on fibreglass sheath.
Secure the ends with tape or heatshrink.

Ah, that looks like it'll do the job, thanks!
On the fuel lines I think I'm going to go all the way and replace the flexible sections entirely rather than just the insulation. A short somewhere is one thing, but a fuel leak over the exhaust is something I can live without.
