Trying out a tbolt type method on a four gear top plate. Definitely takes the wobble out of the last gear. I got a few more ideas to try ,including Jeff's screw and washer set up.
For now this was just some scrap I had sitting on the bench...
On the first one I wasn't sure exactly where I was headed. Originally number 3 gear had popped out ,so I added a thinner brass rod to the tbolt and planned on using it as a keeper for the gear. After it was done and the gear was tight I seen that wasn't really necessary. Its made out of brass tubing . The brass tube is a snug fit for the top plate hole where the rivit is removed from holding the last gear.
On the first version I simply pushed the tbolt in place and cut the rod on the bottom side of the plate. The cut smashes the tube and holds the tbolt in place.
