I have a couple of original rallye dash clock cables where the plastic sleeve has become brittle and broken into pieces. I was wondering if anyone has ever repaired one of these and if so how did you go about doing it? I'm thinking it may be possible to get some semi-rigid nylon tubing, slit it lengthwise to install and then use some small clamps on either end to hold it together so that it functions properly? Instead of shelling out a hundred bucks or so for a repop?  It's otherwise intact and in good shape. :dunno:

I've never used it, but this is something Ive considered for fixing situations like yours.

@EV2RTSE this may or may not help, but after a career in power generation and transmission/distribution, I dealt many times with instrumentation that required tubing from a manufacturer called Tygon. They supply all sorts of comparable material like you are looking at. I know you don't need 25', but the stuff is cheap. Just make sure you get the exact ID and OD and take a look. Some of their material is a soft see-through and some is a more rigid white-ish plastic yet still pliable. Check them out and maybe it will help.
