'39 Deluxe Heater Tube Fabric
There is a 4" section of asbestos fabric that connects two sections of heater tube in my engine compartment. I need to replace it, and I understand there is some sort of fabric used in aviation that can be used as a substitute. I'm guessing someone on the Ford Barn Forum can tell me the name of the fabric. (I've done a bit of research and found a fabric called Thermo-Tec Aluminized Heat Barrier. Wondering if this is the stuff.). Mike

Re: '39 Deluxe Heater Tube Fabric
Not sure what specific material you are looking for, but there are several heat barrier materials used around (as in the vicinity of) turbos, headers, etc. I'm sure you can find something on a high performance site like Jegs or Summit.

Re: '39 Deluxe Heater Tube Fabric
what diameter is this ? sounds like you could use the alluminium tube often used between the air cleaner assembly and exhaust manifold on later cars

Re: '39 Deluxe Heater Tube Fabric
Any of the header tube fiber wraps can be fabricated into a sleeve / tube. Multiple colors are available

This is what we used for hi-temp applications on aircraft... Good for 500 F.
