Well the factory did wrap the wires with black tape. Sometimes a non sticky version and the end was pulled back under the last few windings.

I have a few originals here. They were rectangles cut out of 0.9mm thick black plastic sheet (not rubber), approx 90mm x 75mm. They vary in size by a few millimetres and are not always cut at right-angles, so I assume they were hand-cut in the factory.

p.s. About five years back, I was in touch with a 2CV enthusiast in Connecticut who wanted to replicate those rubber straps used by Citroen on later cars.

I sent patterns to Robert and these arrived in return...

Nice job,
Ken the wrapping tape is the same as scotch insulation tape in material and size but it is not sticky.

I mentioned this in another post but an electrician at work gave me a roll of this 3M electrical tape which is somewhat sticky on one side but stretches unlike the typical vinyl tape.

He said to apply the sticky side on the outside, and stretch it a bit while wrapping it around the wires. Supposed to be rated for a high temperature as well.

I never used it on my Citroen but did use it on my homemade outside aerial. I stripped back some insulation on a coaxial TV cable and soldered it to a piece of 5' X 1/2" copper tubing water pipe. Then wrapped this stuff around the joint and it's held up great over the winter.

The aerial works great at receiving FM stations in my den but not that great at digital TV...

I'm going to add an additional 5' section to it!
