Try a cutting up  a tin can to make a shim or use tin foil to take up the excess around it.  So long as your makeshift shim can't pop out then it should keep it place as the the tophat shouldn't move in relation to the axle.     Just make sure the shim is around the entire tophat so that it keeps everything central and you should be fine (I hope...............no lawsuits if ya not)  ???

Tin foil wrapped round with excess at the end that you fold over into the centre hole.. 

Insert into Sprocket and hammer it home and hopefully it will stay in place.  then cut away the excess tin foil.

If it works..............it'll be a miracle...........but its worth a try..............for a laff!!   :D

If you can get access to a lathe(sp) then making your own isn't very hard, even I managed it n I'm an office bod ;)
