Does anyone know where some really good quality wire sheathing and heat shrink can be obtained?

Somewhere in or around Auckland is preferable as I can pick it up myself. I suppose an internet order will probably be ok too if a person/website is highly recommended by folks here.


Here's a reference picture:

Thanks for any tips!

Cheers,

Hi. Jaycar do heat shrink in various colours / sizes and it is good quality (I use it to repair cables for work all the time)
They also stock fibreglass sleeving (only in cream colour I think no black) or they have abrasive heat shrink which will do a similar job.

Raychem is good but it goes rock hard(no flex) and has glue inside ,heat shrink comes in thick wall as well as standard.

Go to any auto sparky. They should be able to sell it to you.

As I stated Raychem is the brand, Raychem makes heaps of other stuff as well that doesn't shrink and cover cables.
