#1 Cable/Pipe supports

Interested to know what most people use to cover the tips of the various pipe/cable supports (particularly for the fuel lines)? I want to re-instate these following my restoration. I can just get some appropriate diameter heatshrink tubing, but wondered if there is anything available that would do a better job or better replicate the original style?

Hi Richard
I have a selection of originals (most in vgc). Photo below. If you're interested in procuring a few, please PM me.
Regards
Phil

Heat shrink is the best option.

If you go that route just take extreme care around your new paint. Shield the surrounding areas well. You may wish to use two layers of heat shrink given the thickness of the originals (particularly on those out of sight areas where they will hold electrical cables once you have wired the car).

Ok, my first approach will be some 14mm PVC cable sleeving - looks a good match for the factory system, so we will see.
