    help with msd wires

    Bought a set from JEGs no more than a year ago and they stick out right onto my pacesetters and are starting to melt. im worried they may wear all the way through and start shorting out. i know they make sheaths(for lack of a better word) to go over them. does anyone know where i can get them at, or is there an inexpensive way to protect them without cutting corners?
    TIA
    Dustin

    Side note, I have Taylor wires and they dont touch my headers. Maybe they are a little different. Bending works too like they said if your on a tight budget Like me.
