Turbo Heat Jacket

Post by cantfindausername »

I've got a Heat Jacket for my turbo that I'm going to put on. However last time I looked at it I noticed that a few of teh stitches had come undone. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can put this back together? Is it just normal cotton thread? Somekind of special nomex thread or is there another way I could hold it?

Thanks,
Ant

W.F Lake in the States do a thread thats just dandy for this job, if you enquire and progress to purchase I'd be interested in assisting in purchase if the minimum is too much for just your job. I've a sewing job to do on a jacket like that.

Try the thinnest section Snap-On locking wire. It's malleable stainless and easy to use for threading.
