Have you looked through the McMaster catalog?  1-9/16 is not a common
shaft size (quarter inch above 1-1/2), which might be a problem.
What's the application?  How much torque? RPMs?  One direction of
rotation, or two?  How much play is allowable?  How accurately are you
going to be able to align the shafts?
