[Shop-talk] High-temp electrical insulation needed

Wayne-

One answer may be as near as the local hot rod shop.? There are spark plug sleeves utilized on certain air-cooled cars and most any small block chevvy hot rod.? These sleeves are a multi-layer fiberglass sort of material and are meant to withstand the heat of nearby exhaust manifolds so should withstand the rigors of home cookin.

not well insulated myself...

Hey Guys,?
?
I'm in need of some kind of high-temp electrical insulation. Trying to repair an electric stove-top. The wiring to the heating elements has some kind of braided insulation (maybe fiberglass?) Manufacturing defect got one too hot, and a 3" section of insulation is burned away.?
?
I couldn't find anything at Lowes to fix it. McMaster Carr has a couple products that look promising: high-temp braided fiberglass sleeve (no mention of electrical properties), and high-temp silicone electrical tape. But I'd really like to get a hold of something locally this weekend. Suggestions??
