if you have tool handy are you able to throw up the ID and OD of the ring piece?

If I'm allowed in the shed tomorrow......
The ID has to clear the split bush, the OD has to allow the welded on reinforcing strip to hang over the edge of the relay.
Key slots have to match bolt holes & I found it easier to use a normal bolt to latch the tool into position (the bolts used for the endcaps have a smaller than normal head) This means the clearance hole has to clear a 1/4" bolt head.

In the link you posted the relay shaft had replaceable spacers for the seals to run on. I haven't seen one like that so I've had to machine the pitted shaft & hope that the seal will seal OK on the slightly reduced diameter.
