Insulating Sleeves for Cap Wires?

[Rhetor]

Where is a good source to get the insulating sleeves to put over the wires on the caps that are exposed when you replace old caps with new caps on crossovers?

multi color heat shrink on ebay. when you buy...make sure the seller is clear on size....is his size the pre or post shrink size?

Last time I visited one of their stores, Radio Shack carried a bag of assorted sizes. Buying an assortment off a local shelf like this is probably cheaper than paying shipping and guessing about the size.

I keep my old wire trimmings and use the stripped off insulation-- just slide it over the wires. Often you can get good chunks of old automotive wire harness for very cheap at a junkyard. Hekuva lot cheaper than shrink tubing.

That is what I did, though the ideas are so good, gonna pick some up at RS next time I'm out.

Thanks everybody, recapped crossovers for the very first time . . . recapped two sets (4 in all) of AA crossovers, one set for my new old La Scalas and one set for my new old Klipschorns. Of course, I destroyed two 2mf caps on the process (burnt one with soldering iron, broke one wire off at cap base) . . . Will have to wait on the new ones to arrive to recap the Heresys I picked up.

Thanks!
