1 up - welded cogs - snapped
2 up - free hub jammed with nails - lob sided splines - a problem i'd suspected might happen
3 up - free hub jammed with nails (revised) got it central and fixed but had lash (quite stiff and short travel - but lash never the less - unaccepetable)
4 up (what i should have done after the welded cogs incident) 'JB weld' (6.95 gbp from local car shop )in the free hub - set overnight. - success

I'm going to upgrade my car piston heads with baked bean cans cos they are lighter and should enable higher RPM. Or maybe not.
