I also replaced some of the trunking / cable protection which is even simpler as some was past its best.
Did mine this evening. Used the straight boots per Voicey's recommendation. Straightforward but fiddly. Took an hour. Back aches.

Thanks for sharing, looks great! Can you please send a link to where you sourced yours? The link Voicey posted no longer works.
Thanks!
Hi
The Gipsy is a lovely aeroplane.
Mine is actually a Bucker Jungmann - the German equivalent of the Tiger Moth trainer - but miles ahead in terms of flight characteristics as you would expect from the Germans
We are just coming out of the end of a three year rebuild, with some final frustrations due to work the 'professionals' have done. She is based down in Shoreham and should be up and running again early Summer.
Heatshrink is not great for this sort of thing, possibly the adhesive lined stuff might work but its hard to get tidy shapes when you start moving it around after its heated, and you dont have long.Could you slide heat shrink over the rubber and heat at the angle you want it?
