Okay, then come up with something like that.  RPM/balance doesn't seem 
to be a factor.

If you want to be neat it looks like a piece of 2in solid bar stock with 
a 3/4in hole in one end and a 1 9/16in hole in the other.   Keyway 
machined in one end (presumably with a threaded set-screw hole at 90 
degrees or something) and you're probably going to use a through-bolt or 
a big roll pin in the other.

I'm guessing the guy who does my one-off machine work would want $75 to 
do that.

Failing that, you might be able to weld together some combination of 
pipe fittings and etc.

A motorized engine stand?  Must be a scale of engine I don't deal with...

John.
