Hi all,
I can now answer at least one of my own previous questions.
The main clutchplate and belt pulley assembly does indeed thread onto the crankshaft, and it is a standard right hand thread.
The direction of rotation of the engine tends to continually tighten the assembly onto the crankshaft, so no woodruff key is needed on this end.



More soon...
Cylon.
