      I'd look for a marine grade heat shrink. It has an inner coating of adhesive to seal the wire ends.

      I use double wall self sealing that shrinks 3x if I remember right. I get it on eBay.

      I agree with the above posts. I get mine from Amazon. $10-$20 for a box of assorted sizes (depending on diameter, whether you want adhesive lined, which I recommend, and shrink ratio).

      Harbor freight has a nice assortment of the marine shrink tubing for about 8-9 bucks. I usually keep 2 to 3 sets so I never run out.

      1/4” is what I use most of the time:

      Raychem DR25 is the stuff to use in the engine bay. You can get it at prowireusa (see Strip's post above), McMaster-Carr, Fischer Motorsports, etc.

      Yea..It's heat shrink..But it is NOT the good stuff. The good stuff as said is the marine grade w/glue in it.

      Please use RED heat shrink on your Positive terminals.
