Is there a "trick" to maintain and reinforce this hard to find part, to have it last longer?

I would say a very thick polymer sleeve. Maybe some time that will shrink with heat. I am going to try to wind some bailing wire around it. The other issue is the plastic. I bought the second one as well so I could remake the plastic parts out of metal. European plastic has always been shit. Too bad they couldn't have kept that bakelite or the old cloth epoxy mixture the east germans had in the old cars they made haha. Stuff last forever.
