This stuff sounds a bit stiff to me.

Doesn't it need to make several wraps around a 5mm Shaft?

This may be dated, but is "Tuning Cord" or similar string to
be had anymore.

(This stuff was the line used to tune old variable Cap radios
with the moving pointer and rotating knobs)

I would think the idea about the coated wire fishing line would be
the most readily avalible to most people, and probably relatively
cheap.
