Welded the remaining arms to the shaft. Additional work was required for the single arm that will attach to the electric actuator. In order for an Aurora bearing to be used for this attach point, a short length of steel tubing was welded to the flat bar, then tapped for 1/4 x 28 threads. For a welding surface, a slot (the thickness of the flat bar) was cut roughly 3/4 inch long-wise down the center of one end of the tubing. The flat bar was then inserted in the tubing and welded. A slight S bend was used to position the bearing properly to attach to the electric actuator.
