On the pinion front, would it not be cheaper to bore out a 1/8" 32p pinion to 5mm on a lathe? Granted it would be expensive to get a pro to do it, but if you could find a friend with a lathe it wouldnt cost anything really except a $3 pinion & 5 minutes work. Only catch is they arent hardened, but you could do 5 pinions for the cost of one 'proper' one that way....
