Hi,
No problem at all coming up with new ideas Al especially if they work and work well.
Excellent suggestion Lawrence. Tufnol is still available in tube section so it would be very easy to obtain the correct diameter tube; remove a length to the width not required then slit into widths to suit the pots.
Because of the number of pot tracks involved it's highly likely the pot manufacturer would be in close contact with the Tufnol manufacturer having exact sized tubes made in quantity at hugely discounted prices; this also applies to resistance wire?
Because the track ends are open it wouldn't be difficult to design and make a dedicated winding machine for winding on the resistance wire. Winding by hand was easy for me whilst experimenting so a machine would considerably speed up winding.
Kind regards, Col.
