First Sugru hack

My early 2007 MacBook Pro is starting to show some signs of wear and tear... so I hacked it with some Sugru!

 

The plastic coating on the cable was fraying slightly so rather than cover with electrical tape I used Sugru to wrap around and bind the junction. It is still nice and flexible so I can wrap the cable away as normal. Sugru is fine up to a high temperature (silicone) so I hope this will be a good solution.

 

I'd lost one of the small feet on the back corner of the machine, too. For symmetry I've covered the existing three feet with a little piece of Sugru, and stuck another piece where the missing one was - presto - some nice soft feet for it to stand on.
