No no no, your not thinking 4th dimensionally.
My attack to this great find would be to first get it flattened out as Mitas mentioned. I'm thinking clamping it between some 2x4's and applying heat from a heat gun could work well. This way, you can put the whole length in and get it done at once. Then, if the results were good, make a mold of the full length and then cast in rubber. I have been looking for what I think the original was, and I think it was a type of leach line similar to what they use in the star trek movies and shows. I have not been able to find a small thin type like the one on the jacket but unless I can come up with a better alternative I would like to try and find that. My jacket hasn't even come in yet but i'm just trying to come up with the ideas first. The only thing I have no idea what to do with are the spring sleeves.
That's actually not a bad idea, Doc!!
