Nice job. Looks pretty authentic to me.

I use a heat gun to melt out the old insides. Then wrap a little electrical tape around the new cap so it's a snug fit. Then seal the ends either using high temp wax salvaged from the originals or brown hot glue. It goes fairly quick once you get a system down.

I haven't tried dipping then in wax yet though.
