That's kind of what I figured. Don't flex it too much and the insulation will be there. It shouldn't be a problem. I have the main cap can disconnected an out without moving the wires a lot. It shouldn't much of a problem to re-connect..
Most of the dog bone resistors are a bit over spec value. One is open. I think I will hide a resistor under the dog bone in parallel to bring the resistors within range. They are small enough that they should not be readily seen hiding behind the original. With a cursory glance from above, it will all look original. I really don't want to go the painted plastic tube with a new resistor inside route. Do these old resistors vary much in resistance with temperature? I would think it is a slow degradation of value over a great deal of time. My observation is that they usually increase in resistance. Thus a calculated parallel resistor would bring things into design specs.
