Melted cable. BB w/ Hedman Hedders, B&M Pro Ratchet. Tube is very, very close to cable bracket on pan. Will one of the slip-on sleeves protect it if it slips again and comes into direct contact for a while? Would a longer cable (6-8-10 ) help with routing?
I know the best thing to do would be to bite the bullet and buy a different shifter that shifts from the back but trying to work with what we have.
TIA

Maybe a piece of header wrap somehow taped around the cable to either side of the potential contact point?

I hooked a couple large ty-wraps together and pulled the cable away from the header. Not pretty but works.

I used one of these:

They come in different lengths. Worked well for me.

Run the cable through a length of heater hose and tie it away from the header..

this stuff should have something for you.

I use the fire sleeve myself. only good for 500 F continuous, but I only expect incedental contact.
