Default Wrapping Headers
Anybody got any tips on wrapping a set of GT spec tubular headers? Also a set of lock wire pilers I could borrow?

I've always dampened the wrap first - not sure whether this is right or not but it seems to tighten any slightly loose bits when it dries. Take your time to make sure it's neat.

Sorry but I do not have any lock wire pliers.

Yeah dampen them is a good idea, not soaking wet but just damp, also can't help you with the lock wire pliers
