Now I know why 904 was having issues

Looks good, I did the same thing; split the difference ans stake it. The only thing I'd add is do a babbit bushing instead. You '1' uped me with the red-loctite though.

"Babbit is the only way to go--it will not damage the hub metal like the bronze factory style can--it also conforms to smallamounts of- out of round, off center etc present in almost all aftermarket converters--the hubs used in aftermarket units seems softer than factory to me--Bronze ( tough, hard) equals trouble--always , always go with babbit on pump bushing IMO and experience "
