If you don't have a broach set it is possible to mill a keyway into the shaft. Not sure of the resources available to your team but I wanted to bring up that option.

Not sure why you recommend an E-clip? An E-clip will hold a sprocket on but won't drive it. You need a keyway or what Sanddrag mentioned to do that.

Also milling down the sprockets will eliminate the 2" separation Maddie requires and planned for.
