You could use the Ringfetter elements to attach the shaft as well

Paul.

The new smaller ones would work great for that job. They
just need a cylindrical bore and holes to pull the push plate. They
hold like a weld, they use them on train wheels. Bill Jepson

I am not sure I know what that is. Is that the right spelling? Google
has nothing.

OK here it is Ringfeder.

solution, you have to very particular about the torque requirements on the
screws holding the pressure plate.

Paul,
I had been thinking of using Ringeders,but was puzzled why they had not been
use
by someone, I have researched most engine conversions and PSRU's but have
not
seen them used, maybe they are not used in the USA.
There are also taperlock bushes.
I have used similar large units in the past on marine engines (cylinders 10"
bore+)
for prop shafts
they were also used to fit torsional vibration dampers on the front end
of the crankshaft.

They are heavier than a simple forged flange. Tracy modifies a drag racing 
rear axle flange for the prop shaft.
