You can keep this design constraint and still use cheaper round bearings if you use this AndyMark part for your idler shafts.
Thanks Chris for your comment. That particular part is too small because the gearbox is nominally 2 inches wide. Andy Mark does also sell the SS Cluster Shaft (am-0536) which is close with a HEX length of 1.895 inches and the overall length of 2.295 inches, but a little short (0.395/2) on bearing support on both ends. The overall length should be perhaps a half inch longer to have full bearing support on both sides. I'll see if I can get a couple pieces made and re-evaluate the design.
