Can you attach one of the flanged or face-mount collars in the middle
of this page to the fan and not bother with the key?http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/115/1149/=1a0dny

That looks like just what I need. Do I understand this, the collar
locks to the shaft then I would attach the collar to fan drilling
holes and using screws or even bolts. I had actually thought of trying
to drill a hole through the nut to help secure it but this looks
perfect. *Thanks * Martin
You've got it. Since you're relying on friction between the shaft and
collar to transmit torque, make sure there's no oil or grease on the
shaft and ID of the collar. Grease the collar's clamping screw to
maximize gripping force. If it's more convenient you can modify
standard collars by drilling them yourself.

Good idea, Ned. The slot could be filed to take the key, since its
slot extends through the threads.
