will do... might not be till next week... I got soccer tonight so I probably wont pick up the foam until tomorrow... and then to make sure it looks nice I want to take my time... so my work will most likely be slow.

I'll be cutting a slit down the tube (think split loom) and then either zip tie it closed... or better yet... maybe silicone sealant.

ok... started working on this... The rubber heater core tube fits perfectly over the pipe.... except when the pipe bends. Going to stop by home depot or lowes on the way back to see if I can find a thin type of foam to cover the pipe. There are a few corners which which are too tight for me to get the hose to bend around, so I'll have to cut weird wedges to cover the corners. Then i'll just have to wrap black electric tape neatly around that to make it stay in place well. Even if I don't find anyfoam... I'm sure the rubber heater core tubing will insulate it fairly well. Will post pics when i'm done.
