I am currently working on a non Penton project; a 175GP Husky.  The black casing around the ignition wires is cracked in several places, and I am looking for something to replace the original plastic casing.  Has anyone done this before?  James

Haven't seen any original style tubing, but what about heat-shrink?

I have thought about that, but I don't want to take the connector ends off the wire to slide heat-shrink on.  I am hoping to find something that can be split up the length, and placed over the wires.  Thanks for your input Mick.

I know of several guys that are using heat shrink tubing for this application but if you do make sure that you use the marine grade stuff, anythink less is just too brittle..
