Maybe enlarge the center of a piece of ThunderHex to make a tight slip fit for the van door motor shaft, then cross-drill both pieces and press in a 5/32" pin? This would leave you with a 1/2" hex on which to mount many possible COTS drive parts (sprockets, pulleys, flanges, etc.)

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
