What about using exhaust wrap?

With good quality leads....as long as there ia bout a 10mm air gap, you should be fine.

sometimes wrapping the leads in insulation can make them worse, as they retain any heat....and melt.

The boots are about 1/4 inch away from some of the pipes! good idea about exhaust wrap it may do it,never used it before!
