I get massive heat shrink tubing from electrical supply houses.  Something
for 0000 wire guage would work, and it's not expensive, but you might need
two sizes together depending on the diameter drop to the wires.

I'm surprised how much I use this stuff, it covers up all sorts of ugliness.

Inserting a (possibly shaped) spacer block and then heat-shrinking the
terminals to the outside of it ought to help.  Whipping the outside with
waxed thread or lacing cord would also give a rigid support without having
to find a piece of huge shrink tubing.
