I'd use a slightly oversized length of PVC pipe to hold it for a drive shaft.

You can probably go heavier for cast iron stuff. Here is a link to the musclebike forum where i learned about it. I got mine at DIY/ACE hardware for like $5. http://musclebikeforums.com/topic/8830/Wood-Bleach-Oxalic-Acid
