ELECTRICAL TERMINAL CUFFS

From the late brass era through the advent of vinyl, low tension wires often had a rubber cuff that covered the wire connection to the terminal. These used to be available in bulk form. In recent years, I have no longer been able to find them. I now buy several different diameters of rubber windshield washer hose and lop off the appropriate length to replace these cuffs when rewiring.
