Nothing to see here...

Ah, I must've misunderstood.

I've never seen the Surgical tubing method used with KOP encoders, only US Digital S4 series encoders. Though, You could take a 1/4" Pin and slide it into the KOP encoder and then attach surgical tubing to that... Not sure how to address the disk alignment issue though.
