Yes, I ended up using the pump shaft. I am quite concerned about the small diameter but decided to go with it for now. If it breaks, it breaks and I will deal with it then.

One of the deciding factors is the fact that I am only running 12.5% more amps than the Forkenswift, so 12.5% more torque, all efficiency variables aside. And yours has lasted a long time.

For your amusement, the ForkenSwift's tachometer:
Wow...that's the same exact one I was using till now!
