Cable sheathing - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Hey, does anyone know where you can get the plastic corrugated-looking sheathing that you usually see wrapped around wiring under the hood? I want to put some on the battery cable I'm going to run through my car in areas where it could rub and wear.

Home-Depot. I used to buy it there often for electrical work.

Thanks dude, I'll go check it out.

Home Depot has black, but if you want colored tubing then check Kragen or Pep Boys or whatever is closer to you. They have red, blue, yellow, black, and I think I've seen chrome too.

Hehe, it doesn't really matter, most of it's going to be underneath the carpet anyway. I'm mostly over it when it comes to how things look on my car, as long as it works and the car goes faster. The stuff I got at home depot last night is blue. Relocating this battery to the trunk is one of the most PITA projects I've ever done on this car. I had to drop the gas tank down last night to get enough room under the rear to drill holes for the battery box and get nuts threaded on underneath... god what a pain.
