that sounds like it would work, but what I don't get is how I put the jack shaft through that part of the frame, and keep it stable? Like not wobbling or sliding side to side if you know what I mean. I can't visualize how that works... also I need the small sprocket on the right to be right up...

Update OK I managed to get the coils thing off the drive shaft and I took apart the left pedal to try and figure out if I could mount a sprocket on it or put another right pedal on but it's a once piece crank so right there I am stuck. I know I need to put some kind of jackshaft through there...
