I have 10 mm heat shrink tubing on order for the next attempt. If you search for HP-85 capstan repairs there is a fair amount of information. If you search this site for '9815 capstan' you should find the thread that I am documenting my lack of progress!

I replaced the tire on the capstan of a HP-85 using heat shrink what I did was spin the motor while heating the heat shrink in hopes of it shrinking evenly all the way around, and it worked.
