Thanks for the reply!
Ah that makes sense! although, by the sounds of it, it's a different approach to the image posted on page 7, where the chap laid the inner tube on top of the rubbers - while i'm assuming you're saying you lay a bigger piece in the gap and then put the cush rubber into there so the inner tube folds up on the sides as well as sitting underneath the cush.
Perhaps i'm being over finiky (highly likely), was just wondering if one approach works better than the other?

Appreciate the replies by the way, and good tip with the cable ties!

I had a little bit of play
Opened up and rubbers seems to be in fairly good condition
Cleaned everything nicely and inserted rubber tube
With the next service I think I will replace with new rubbers

the process is the same. the only difference is on page 7, the cush drives are separated. The little connecting rubber does wear out eventually.

the rubber tube pieces fill in the gap/ slack between the cush blocks and the mating fingers(don't know their name!)

I used a motocycle tube which is of the right thickness, bicycle's can be too thin.
A little silicon spray on the tube will help with putting the parts together

Just put new bearings in the wheel and sprocket carrier and new cush rubbers in my XTX and I padded them out with bicycle inner tube. All went back together nice and tight, with no fore and aft play at all.
