I didn't like the idea of the aluminum working back and forth so I turned out a bushing out of a hunk of window weight and installed it in the new ratchet. It pressed in nice and snug then I rebored the bushing to fit the shaft. anyway here's the photos

and on the shaft

there's not really much more that can be done with this, plus I'm not really happy with it so I'm going to make a new pattern and start over from scratch with one that will cover over the ratchet gear and keep chips and crud out.
