Default RE: shielding spark plug cap & wire

Question for the ignition gurus out there...
I have a 3W ignition with a bit of wear on the braided shielding surrounding the spark plug wire.. there is one small spot worn to the silicone (about 1/8" high and about 1/4" long) but the silicone itself is totally intact. The ignition functions fine & no hits to date, but I am concerned about the overall "health" of this shielding as I'm moving the engine to a new plane and don't need any extra worries!! Should I be concerned with this small worn area? Should I slip an additional layer of braid from some RG-8 cable over the existing braided sleeve?? Can't replace the wire as it's potted in.
thanks for the help!
