If this relates to protective sleeves for the aluminium capacitor tubes, I read somewhere - maybe on this phorum - how to do this, and eventually did manage it with reasonable results.
If you take the cut down cardboard tube (toilet roll etc), wet it and wrap it around a piece of PVC pipe of the right diameter, holding it in place with elastic bands until dry, you can make something passable. If you leave a very small piece of the cardboard tube projecting over the end of the pipe, you can crush it down when still wet which gives you the 'rolled over' effect for the top. I darkened it afterwards by spraying it with lacquer. Make a few and pick the best ones
