Yeah, those are going to need those special "stepped" keys too. Might as well include the extra plastic countershaft gear in the drawing while you are at it.    

I'm going to take my chances with a couple of metal one piece high/low gears from China though. I would rather break the external gears than the internal ones. I get the idea behind only replacing the spindle gears with metal so you won't have to pull the spindle again if you break a plastic counter gear. But I don't want to have to disassemble 3/4 of the lathe to remove / replace and realign the head stock yet again to replace a plastic counter shaft gear later on if need be. I would rather put up with the extra noise.
