Looks pretty good.

Definately needs the flexible coupler looking at the wobble on the sahaft att he worm gear end.

Nice update Douglas.

Have you considered heat shrink tubing to couple the different drive sizes?

It might be simpler than the flex coupler, but I am not sure that it would last in a cold environment.

If your flexible coupling had had 5 mm bore (before modification), you could have used 5 mm to 2 mm bore adaptor, like 251.11 from Huco (http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/106406.pdf) to grab the gearbox shaft. This way the rigid brass coupler and drilling in flexible coupling would be eliminated. Farnell used to carry them, but current offer is rather limited: Bore Adaptors | Farnell element14
