melting a/c hoses
Okay I have finally completed the installation of my a/c system into my 92 civic.
The thing I noticed was the rubber a/c hoses coming from the compressor. They are awfully close to my headers and judging by the material that wrap the hoses I would imagine that they would likely melt from the extreme heat.
I have a JDM ITR engine with FEEL's headers with the stock air conditioning.
How can i protect these hoses from melting or degrading from the extreme heat?
Is there a foil wrap or header tape that can be used?
Thanks

Foil?
They're pretty heat resistant as they are. They get hot to begin with so it shouldn't be a problem unless the header is physically touching the hose.

Re: (Dimi)
there is probably about 2 inches of clearance from the header pipe to my suction hose.
I was thinking that perhaps as added insurance that I don't melt the hoses that I wrap it in header wrap. This ways there is a guarantee that it couldn't melt. Heck even wrapping the hoses in tin foil technically would work.
