Default Fuel line insulation options

Anyone got a decent source for fuel line insulation sleeves or even better have some handy they can sell me? The thicker the better, and more padded the better... these SS fuel lines cut through anything!

fiberglass sleeves here, they should do the job.

Lindsey is not the only place that sell them IIRC

I have some of this: http://www.autobarn.net/thhowiprbyth.html in the mail. Dunno if it will be a hit or not, just trying it out for my fuel lines. I bought 3 ft. of 5/8" - 1" size and will cut them to fit. I'll follow up when they arrive (allong with turbo heat sheilding and header wrap) next week.

Allright, I got everything in the mail and went ahead and threw on the fuel line insulation and am thrilled with the result. Perfect fit, length and it looks (yah I know, not for bling) great too!
I ordered the 3 foot section of 5/8" - 1" size, part number; THT14010 for $15.95 and cut to size.

I was left over with a 4 inch section, thats with allowing the thermo sleeve to extend past the line at the bottom ending right into the fender, in case the fuel were to start leaking, it would be funneled into the fender.
I opted to leave the factory rubber insulation on, as its just added insulation and protection. The damper line was a tight fit, but looks great for it.
The FPR line was a bit looser, but still a great fit. I just shoved it on, cut to length, and shoved it on the other line, cut to length!
I'll try and get photos tomorrow.
