Rattle N Hum

Okay, no humming, but the cocking handle on my We Scar-L Closed-Bolt GBB rattles to such an extent that I'm tempted to use the SWAG theory and TLAR methods to machine a new folding one based on my old FNC1/ FN FAL.
I've even tried heat shrink tubing, which makes it too snug to fit.
Does anyone have a simpler solution?

Thanks or any help.

Arthur.

No joy?
I'm open to any suggestions that'd help. Short of using adhesive, I'm stuck, so to speak.

If heat shrink was too thick try foil tape.

could a neoprene small /tiny o ring work.
just a shot?

@ Wrath:
I could give foil tape a try. I hadn't thought of it.

@drk: I could also try an O-Ring. I've a few handy, though if the thin walls of heat shrink were too thick, I'm not sure I could find an O-Ring that's thinner.

Thanks, both, for your input.

Well, guys, a wrap or two of Teflon plumber's tape fixed it in short order. Easy enough to redo when I switch sides or clean anyway, and the tape was 79¢ at CanTire.
Thanks for the inspiration!
