Question: Proper care and mounting a 7JP4?

Well Im the proud owner of a working 7JP4 for my restored teletone 202 portable and I want to ask this because I dont want to loose this one. This crt mounts by a strap around the edge of the face and also around the bakelite socket. Both straps have a rubber surround on them. I want this tube to last and I want to add more shock resistance so have any of you guys tried "softer" mounting ideas on your restorations? Like more rubber on the straps or foam? Also the bakelite socket is loose on the neck - whats the best glue to secure this? All the way around or put beads of glue in spots?

Thank you guys!
