I like this idea.. although I might wonder about engine "heat" making the plastic "brittle" over time - especially here is the valley of the sun!!

the nut on the outer shaft is a good thought as well - although I am not sure if I would be willing to trust my welding skills to make it "for sure" secure...

either way i know now that the next thing for tonight is to melt the plastic

thanks guys!!!
