Yes that is where I thought of Kapton above....I have a roll at work.

But the mechanics of the dial when aligned propely, as I found out, keep the cap from over-travelling. So it is OK now even without the Kapton. I just never saw the cap by itself touching before. Even with aluminum bar bridges.....maybe I did not really tried. Icon_smile

thanks Chuck.
