The only problem I have now is the Vblock clamp does not fit the shaft. I will have to make a new clamp before I can precede with this project.

Clarence,

It would take much effort to drill and tap the side of a couple of pins to go in the block and then use threaded rod and a strap to clamp on the bar. A wide strap and a couple of pins and studs on each side would solidly lock it down.
