Not the 9145 specifically, but I've refurbed a number of QIC drive capstans using silicone vacuum hose, usually the 4mm variety. Search on eBay for "4mm vacuum hose"--there are lots of sellers. The stuff seems to have the right durometer for the job. It's very "stretchy", you can stretch it over the bare metal shaft without losing concetricity. You can use a bit of polyurethane glue if it shows any tendency toward slipping. --Chuck
