Phenolic tubing rub guards as per the factory drawing. The originals were installed with black friction tape and coated with varnish. I installed these with glue and then wrapped the ends with the self sealing silicone tape. The guards protect the tubing in case a cable should come in contact.

From what can be seen in the pictures, it looks like it is coming along fine. Keep us posted :drink3:
