Wanting to use a nylon sleeve over a 1/8" elevator cable to avoid rubbing

following methods of securing the sleeve/tube so it doesn't slip out of
position:

slip sleeve over RTV'd cable section; clamp sleeve ends with safety
wire; suggestion...



Use heat shrink electrical tube to secure sleeve----Some RTV sealants are
corrosive--especially if they smell like vinegar!

I've seen teflon tubing for sale somewhere---maybe electrical suppliers?
