I might be able to help you save a few bucks on the lovejoy+clutch hub input shaft side, if that's the route you're going to take. That specific part was done gratis for us by a friend of Ivan's.

The machinist did the other half of the lovejoy for us - where he cut & welded in the stub shaft.

Edit: but if you've got a normal motor shaft, you may not need anything fancy on that side of the lovejoy.
