To put it lightly. Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Managed to get my 43 tooth installed on the back with zero play!
How you might ask? Well, as mentioned in my previous post, even with the Honda studs, there was still a teeny bit of wiggle to the sprocket, and even after tightening the nuts down on it it was still there, so I decided to eliminate one little variable, which was the miniscule gap between the sprocket and the snap ring. After pondering a few different ideas, I settled on the simplest solution. I managed to locate some M8 wave washers that were just about the right thickness to take up the space between the sprocket and the snap ring ( roughly .5mm, or .002". I put the washers on the studs, then the sprocket, then tightened them down, installed it all, and just barely managed to get the snap ring in place.
Zero wiggle, anywhere, even with the nuts just finger tight. I have a feeling the wave washers apply just enough outward force to keep it all equalized, and when tightened down the sprocket sits dead flush with the snap ring.
I did also apply a couple drops of Loctite 620 retaining compound to the pins as well, but seeing as it takes at least 12 hours to cure with the primer, at this point it is just extra security.
