Not sure. Never seen them. They look like they would trap moisture and cause premature corrosion.

QUOTE(yellowporky @ Nov 30 2018, 08:27 PM)  Does anybody make these? There are many varieties of heat shrink tubing. Keeping moisture out appears to be the reason for these. Marine grade utilizes a sealant. I use it all the time on wires that can be exposed to the elements. |

I do not see the need for them on a 914. Would make pulling a relay harder. One time use. Other ways to reduce corrosion of electrical contacts.

They were just big rubber bands. They were added around 72-73 to keep moisture out of the relay. Most died after a short period of time. The ones that did not break are like yours. Most are hard and crusty. They will crumble when you start to take them off.
