Clutch redo insulation method
Took out the RTV Silicon and instead took the deep dive.
The beauty is once I found the right wires, I have them ready! Wasn't really hard, going through the auto and electrical cabinet.
Going o leave off the aluminum cylinder.
Going to tape it inside somewhere.
It could have been a doable thing to shave the brown casing with a Dremel tool.

I had to remove a few pics from earlier posts, I only have 8mb for attachments. Is that all I can do?

Hi,

there should be no need to glue something to something else.
In my experience, using a tube that's tight enough is sufficient for transferring the axis torque to the worm gear.
If that connection slips, there might be a problem elsewhere, like too much pressure between the pinch roller and the nylon wheel.
   
This pic shows the total length of the construction, in centimeters.
   
Don't make the tube any longer than shown,
since the motor axis needs some space for movement along the axis,
and the tip of the worm gear should not press against the ball bearing too hard.

RE: Clutch redo insulation method
I understand. There should be some end play. Such that when I move the worm screw after assembled the roller should be free and move also just a small amount.

Yes the insulation I found and used is good and tight.
I began the project aiming to do the silicon method.
Now glad I have the wire set aside for more use.

Regards.
