Re: Counterlung collapse, what to use to avoid it?

Same sort, maybe larger diameter, used to keep the cables for the KISS display together.
Kids use colored ones on their bicycles (or used to ... )
Or have a look at the last pic of the Azimuth counterlungs from Dave Sutton's teardown.
Hi again.

Went to the local Radio Shack store and saw the 3/8” (9.5mm) spiral cable wrap material but I felt it was not wide enough for my particular application so I was forced to visit the Home Depot store to see what I could devise myself.

Found there a nice 5/8” (15.8mm) black vinyl tubing and bought 10 feet of it and with a drill proceeded to make a lot of holes. It did not come out too bad at all.

I think I am in the right track in the absence of a better alternative.
