Step 6 Inserting the wheel to the motor

This is a cool way to insert the wheel to motor shaft.

You've probably noticed that the inside hole of the rubber wheel is too large compared to the motor shaft. Take a piece of wire insulation sleeve and insert it onto the shaft, which creates a snug fit with the rubber wheel.

Personally, I used a pencil head for the eraser :)

while trying to do this myself, with parts I have at hand, I am finding that the wire insulation I have available are too loose in the above fitting, too big to fit in the wheel, or too small to fit over the motor shaft.

So, simple question: what guage wire is that sleeving salvaged from?
