Not worth faffing with anything else when this sort of thing is readily available for peanuts
Linky
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

But worth looking elsewhere, they are just cable gland shrouds. From memory, 20S is about 26mm ID and are available for just £2.99 for a pair, plus
the unneeded glands from Screwfix - Linky There are tables of gland sizes and nut dimensions available for
checking online.
Which of course you can pick up within an hour or so as click-and-collect if you have a local store.

Thanks, ordered
Looking at the IVA manual section 16(Exterior projections) Fig 5 page 10, does it mean the bottom of the coilovers and adjuster dont need protecting

What do you mean by outlawed? I had planned on using a few layers of thick heat shrink to smooth out my tierod joints. Anything official on this?

Anything protecting a sharp edge must be "durable, serviceable & permanent" heat shrink fails on the serviceable part as when you
asjust tracking it will get knackered & to replace you'd need to remove the TRE, hence many folks would just leave it off, whereas with the
cable dhrouds you can slide back & re cable tie after adjustment
