I was afraid you would say that you have a mill. I only have an antique lathe. Besides the difficulty in assembly, does it matter if you groove the shaft for the o-ring? I'm thinking of grooving the rear of the shafts, reverse and cluster gear, and putting the cover over the front of the cluster shaft like I pictured. That way I only have to carefully insert the shafts from the rear.
