Tony,
Locating the ball bearing at the back might not be too bad. With the crankshaft out of of the case you could fit the bearing inner race on the rear journal after first lapping the flywheel onto the taper, measuring the gap with feeler gauges and making shim washers to that size minus a thou or two.( I think that’s Charles P’s method). Alternatively you could use a Belleville washer(disc spring) to provide the necessary axial force. Then there’s loctite......
Cheers,
Dave.
