Oh nice I see that now. The DS only has one pin to align one side of the chain (as far as I could tell) so having pins on both sides really makes a difference for that one.

Yeah I knew the output shaft was tapped at one end but I didn't know what to do about all the other shafts for the front and back wheels. I am thinking now that we will just tap each shaft manually and use bolts/washers just like the output shaft.
