Default Machining Stock ezgo 4 stroke Drive Clutch

Getting ready to get my stock 4 stroke EZGO drive clutch modified to use on my 16HP Vanguard. The Vanny has the 1" X 3" crank stub.

I have seen 3 threads about machining the clutch.

Billys Buggie had a sleeve machined to fit inside the stock clutch & then pinned in place.

Pizzamaker had is crank stub machined to a taper to match the clutch.
I have straight shaft so don't want to do this

DirtySouth did some kind of machining to the clutch then drilled & tapped holed for set screws to hold it on to the crank stub. Not sure if a sleeve was made or what.

Questions:
How long should the sleeve be
What is the finish ID of the sleeve to fit over the 1" shaft
What type of steel should the sleeve/insert be made from
Do you cut off the crank stub to bring the clutch closer to the block

I think if I buy by buddy a few Stroh's he will do it in his machine shop
