what exactly is that stuff called that they use to wrap hoses in? It looks like some sort of plastic or rubber spiral wrap that you put on hoses. I've seen it used for both decoration... and to prevent rubbing and chaffing. it usually comes in a ton of different colors in case you're using it for accents. I don't think it has any adhesive on it or anything but I guess it could.
what is that stuff called and where can you get it?

 

search spiral wrap, and you'll get a bunch of small diameter stuff for audio cables and the like. Not sure where you would get bigger gauge stuff if thats what you need.

 

Nah... mostly 1" and smaller.
nothing too big.

 

may i ask why you want this? Silicone hose would be fine by itself

 

to wrap steel braided brake lines with to keep them from chaffing.
Also I use it to wrap large wire harnesses with. I have large wire harnesses usually not present on most TTs in mine lol

 

Here you go

 

oh wow. I didn't even think of chaff tape. they call it fire braid tape on there but I get that stuff free all day here at work. I need to find some in green so it at least doesn't stand out. I'll keep looking
