Lastly, I removed that useless bearing on the motor shaft female piece. I ordered an 11" disk of 1/2 inch aluminum from eBay (for $30!!!)for the motor to sit on. I plan on purchasing 1/4 steel plate to make the adapter plate section that goes to the transmission. I might still use 1/2 inch aluminum for that if I can find it cheap enough.

You may want to use a 1/4" piece of cold steel square stock to make your key, since you don't want it to shear in this case...

I'm not sure how much load that key will actually see, but I'm fairly certain it's going to get stressed alot.
