Does anyone know roughly how much wrap you would need to do an 8v 4-2-1 - 4 branch manifold
Any specific way of doing the " wrapping " also specific "inch to buy ?

not sure how much you would need or whether a 50m wrap would do, best to apply damp (not soaking wet) and use proper metal ties around it or cabling. take your time

i used one of these on my 8v manifold, did the job.quick delivery as well. i'd buy 2 if you want it to be perfect as it would give some extra to play with. leave a bit of room where it joins the head otherwise you can't tighten the nuts properly, i learnt the hard way. wear gloves and old clothes this stuff itches like crazy. also don't be alarmed if it smokes for a couple of days. could tell the difference in temperature of the engine bay straight away.

in 2" , if you'd say 10m was ok 20m should be more than enough ?
