My, but that's expensive! Why not drill and pin the connection between
rotor and shaft instead, or try some friction-increasing material inside
the clamps? I recall a thread on Towertalk a few years ago, in which
scrap industrial belting material was suggested for this purpose because
it is specifically formulated for high friction.
