No, no modification necessary...however I either lost the
woodruff key (likely) or it wasn't it the box (less likely because
Mike P. said he thought he saw it in there, I probably tossed it
with the huge box that all the parts came in).  So I ended up
machining myself a new one from other woodruff key stock.  I
got one of the correct thickness, and just cut it down to fit.
Works fine.
