RJM3, you apparently know as much about the shielding's purpose as I. Something about radio interference and the CDI unit.
FWIW, I take the simple position that the world's finest automotive engineers thought this was a good idea. they also don't include unnecessary components, as a rule. So, I'm open to the possibility that some parts on my car are unnecessary, or that an upgraded replacement can be found. On the other hand, these cars are harder to 'upgrade' than those four cylinder farting machines we discussed on another thread.
But I do think the stainless steel socks look cool and help protect the wire physically. My stainess steel is worn in one place from rubbing. An this is just a sock that slips over the wire. You can put them on any car's existing wires, as long as you can get one end off.
Wire repair for me will involve high quality, bulk cable, good beru connectors, and socks. Better than spending $200.
