I’ll be honest, I had to check the dictionary for “superfluous” … Glad I learned it!

You don’t happen to know they exact mm dimensions of the notches… Do you??

 :D What would you call it when something isn't needed anymore? Unnecessary? Is superfluous too fancy? English isn't my native speak, ever learning ;D
And no, I just filed the alu disc inner until the driving parts did fit...

Vocabulary choice is spot on!

I wonder why the consensus isn’t to just file the carrier of the rotor, as opposed to modifying the speedo plate.

Is it 6065 aluminum or 7075?

Because filing the carrier may well end up with it off centre and therefore unbalanced
