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.

I tired several methods which worked to some extent (afore mentioned silicone tubes,
shrink wrap, eBay bought molded rubber overwraps, machined grooves and add O-rings), but
now I just strip my capstans clean and coat 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.

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.
