Looks good for me. Be sure that the rivets are totally smashed and the plate has no clearance and it will have a long life.

No,
I was in there and noticed scoring on the front plate. The plate had become loose.

There is a good tutorial on the scootermercato site about rebuilding the cush drive under tech tips. The thing I did different was to grind off the heads of the rivets and drive them out with a squared off punch (since I don't have a drill press)

I made this video a while back, I didn't use a drill press either.

Mine has broken during a ride. It makes a terrible noise. When I oppened the engine the plate was completely smashed.
