In actual fact there is no reason that the part can't be held in place by a shaft spacer. I never really thought about it, but you could just buy this part (6436K132) from McMaster.com and us that to keep the plastic tophat from backing off from the gear you press on the Chiaphua shaft.

In fact, if you could find a washer with at 5/16 hole and 1.650 or so OD, you could probably eliminate the tophat entirely (together with the above and a standard 5/16 washer)

Good thinking.
