I may be mistaken but it looks like the end of part 10 is threaded and possibly the inside of the collar on the arbour? If that is the case I'd try putting a pin through one of the holes in part 11, heat the arbour collar and try drifting part 11 in the right direction using the pin. Does the...

A good place to start would be Scoraig wind website, Hugh Piggott has been building them since the 70s
