Headlight wiring

I am rewiring the headlights on my 50 F-1. I have the connectors and the headlight bowl grommets but I am trying to find some black sleeve tubing to insert into the grommets and run the wire through. Any thoughts on where to get it?

I believe your are talking about shrink tubing try this www.digi-key.com and do a search on the home page for shrink tubing. Pay attention to the length especially is comes in 6" lengths to 150 foot rolls. Any more questions let me know. I have been using this company at work for 3 years no problems yet.

i went to the local speed shop and got some. it came in a 20ft length . it has a slot in it and looks good after i was finished. i did the the rest in it . was pretty cheap , about 8 bucks. or you can go to the local electrical supply and by some heat shrink.

You can also get spiral wrap I bought 100 feet for 18.00. I plan on using heat shrink tubing to repair broken down cotton wiring in places.
