I wanted to try to rufurbish this tiny electric motor, it sparked and stopped working awhile back, but I don't recognize this tape under the zip ties. If I can't find a 1:1 replacement what would you suggest I replace it with?

The large translucent piece that goes around all of the wires could either be a thin piece of Teflon sheet wrapped around the wires or a short length of Teflon heat shrink that was not shrunk down.

The small insulation on each individual wire looks like silicone coated fiberglass insulation.
