So did you actually come up with a fix for this? I'm sure I could machine some kind of new part to replace the pinion holder or whatever but it's pretty low down on the priority list.

Yes--the tolerance between the pinion holder pin the and control valve is tight enough that the control valve can be used to constrain the rotation of the pinion holder. I hope to have a chance to finish the how-to this weekend.
