Have a look here

From memory, this is the stuff that I have used on my P6 LTD, XC Cobra and XD Falcon, all with the Thermoquad choke tubes

This stuff looks similar:

https://www.sparesbox.com.au/part/ae...ture-af91-9000

Back in the day, one could just buy some asbestos rope and wind it around, and it would have done a good job, but .....

That lagging always looked a bit rough, even when fairly new, it's only trying to keep the air warm in that pipe as it circulates to the auto choke. Maybe its only there to stop the mechanic burning his hand! Just my thoughts.

Cheers.

I'm thinking this one

https://www.techflex.com.au/techflex...aided-sleeving

All I did was that I went into a branch, showed what I had and specifically asked for their product to compare with. Then picked the closest one

NPD etc have heaps of different Mustang stove pipe kits, on some the sleeving appears quite similar to the original sample.
