Is that little metal tube available aftermarket? The one that bolts to the back of your engine and keeps your wires in the clear from the exhaust?
 
Anyone have a picture of this? I don't remember what it looks like and might be looking for one.

Those go onto a bellhousing bolt.
I have found the wires getting chewed up from rattling around in that hot tube before. The split loom gets cooked and knocked off, then the wires are next. I prefer the wrap on the wires, the tube seems to conduct too much heat, IMO.

I was afraid of that, but wanted to do both just use the tube as a transition.
