Paul and all:

I visited the koolmat site, and note that one of their products is
"zipsleeve", which is zip-on heat protection.  See
http://www.koolmat.com/net/new.shtml  It is supposed to be good to 700
degrees Fahrenheit.  I don't know what "good to" means, but is sure sounds
like the kind of thing that would help in certain under cowl applications,
like the turbo oil return line.

Does anybody have experience with this stuff?  Would the brass zipper
defeat/lessen the effectiveness?  [I would think not, else why bother
developing/selling/advertising it?]
