I was going to mention him too but you beat me to it. He does really great
nice work. I've had a few QIC drive rollers replaced through him.

I tired several methods which worked to some

silicone tubes, shrink wrap, eBay bought molded rubber

them with plasti-dip. Methods in shown my various videos (like here
https://youtu.be/cTZCD4OXETk ). Only plastidip and o-rings have been
durable enough in the long run, and plasti-dip is easier. I have not done a
capstan this large though. There are also some folks out there that will
also commercially recoat a capstan with correctly molded and vulcanized
rubber.
