You will have to look through and find the images of the FP gearbox and adapter. the shaft goes through the hole in the gearbox and is supported on the backside as well as the front. The metal adapter in the white FP gear is an octagon and has a keyway in it to interface with the shaft. The octagon is just under 1.5" fact to face.

I'm not saying this is the best way, just something that has worked for us.

Best of luck

RAZ
Team 60 (and us copying them) machine an octagon that is 1.490 face to face. Then hose clamp the plastic output of the FP tightly around the octagon to prevent slipping. The Hose clamp doesn't take the torque of rotation, just prevents the octagon from slipping. We have run these without the clamp before, but the hose clamp increases reliability.
