I machined up the collars to the dia of the sprockets and then milled the collars out to insert 20mm H/T bolts. The bolts were tapered in the lathe for some weld penetration.

I did the welding over about 4-5 hrs as to not let too much heat go down into the final drive. As it is like a spline with all the bolts in there, the weld is really only there to stop the the whole thing sliding off. That is something that can never happen. Even though it is now all welded on there, it does not stop any maintenance that needs to be done to the final drive spline if it ever needed to be removed or replaced as it is held in place internally. I felt it was the safer and easier option of mounting the sprocket plates.
