That works but how do you get it to be dead centre? Otherwise it will induce a wobble.

But if it works, it works and will be mentioned with a few other fixes. Me, I have purchased some rolls of thin copper wire sheathed in hi temp resistant silicone. It is my got to wire now as it does not offend my OCD with melted plasitc.

But the silicone best mimics the original rubber for dampening. And I can center the motor pivot in it. With the aluminum sleeve and the outer wire insulation it compresses onto the motor pivot and the worm gear.

But if it works it works.

Further, I have that fix in a bunch of these from 2009 so it looks like it lasts at least as long as the decomposed rubber did with HP.

Cheers, Geoff
