I've been looking all over for A/C line padding. It's the black rubberish stuff that goes over the A/C lines under the hood. My car is old and nearly all of that stuff has rotted off. Any idea where I could find some? I've tried Winchester and Kragen Auto Parts.

I've got a 91 Accord LX, btw.

Thanks for any help.

 

get some insulation for water pipes and use that instead wrapping some automotive tape (black cloth tape) arouns it to secure it. It would be a lot cheaper than replacing with oem insulation

 

Yup, you can find 1/2", 3/4" and 1.0" diameter pipe insulation at any of the BigBox Home improvement stores. Either "Home Despot" or "sLowes"

Thanks, I had a feeling that might be the way to go.

Maybe I'll pick that up and also see about re-looming some of my wiring.

 

Follow-up: the only padding that my local hardware store had was a lot thicker than the OEM stuff. It was less rubbery and more like those FuNoodle pool floats. Oh well, I bought it and put it on. It's a bit of a PITA to get on right, especially since it's thicker than the original stuff so I had to cram it in places. On the plus side, it provides much better cushioning between the A/C lines and my air filter.
