The Grey Flash and Lightnings had steel ET48 gears (the ATD gear).
I think P.J. Morgan wrote an article in MPH about the tach drive. He used a large bell-like adapter to run the tach and avoid the weights. I like the small aluminum adapter that grips the pins and has clearance for the posts:
The holes marked in orange fit on the small pins. The additional holes are just for lightness. Mill straight across to clear the posts.
It is best if you use the Smith BG1507 right angle drive, which was OEM. I think the BG1508, which is the replacement, is not as robust.
