I don't think turning the auger is a good idea. The two augers alternately feed the impeller. I think turning it 90° would make it feed uneven. Slug, nothing, slug, nothing..... See what I mean?
Just use a brass pipe fitting, You don't need a solid brass shaft.

Copper pipe would work, but I would question weather the heat from the weld would melt through the copper since it is thin wall. Worth a try if you have some.
