    I see a problem feeding the covers over the brake hose banjos & with the other cables, on the length it would look good, but it how you finish the ends, just putting a cable tie around them is going to look s@#%

    If you used stainless ties it might be ok. They would blend in.

    I haven't use the kit but I would think that the ONE FOOT of 16mm Heat shrink Tubing would be used to finish the ends. Cut the tube into 1 inch pieces and shrink them over the end of the braid.

    Yeah, I think I will get a set. For less than $30, what the hell?

    i used some of these on a vintage car I modded, they looked the dogs in the engine bay, the only issue i had was overheating fuel lines, they impacted on the cooling of the lines as they passed through close to the engine, i ended up with heated fuel vapor instead of fuel. All of the others were fine and looked great. I used the heatwrap idea for the ends then anodised alloy covers color coded to match the accents on the engine.
