got back the last of the machining from my friend for the Yves fix for the alton starter/woodruff key failure. everything worked out perfectly, considering he's 1K miles away and we did this via snail-mail and the phone. the scary part was transferring the location for the spacer holes from the engine sprocket, however the instructions in the yves write-up thread was spot on. to be honest, i doubt my machinest buddy could have gotten things any better. everything went together without issues. installed a belleville washer along with thread locker and torque the retaining nut to 75 ft.lbs. hopefully this will put an end to my alton/woodruff key issues. wrapping up things today - road test/shake down tomorrow.
