Guys thanks for the heads up. I would just like to share that Douglas of West garage engineering comes highly recommended by me for quality and price plus speedy delivery.
I ordered a 52 R1 sprocket for my lsd sierra diff last Monday and it arrived this morning. It cost £55 plus £6.50 p & p.
It's the Dog's Cahoona's !

pardon, my ignorance but why does it look like it.s been cut in half?


nitram38 - 5/3/07 at 11:03 AM

Yep!!!!!!!!!!! It is in half !!!
This is done so that I can change sprockets quickly without removing driveshafts etc.
This means I can have different gearing at different circuits when I finally get to track it.

Have you let NS Dev know - he was after somewhere to make him one a little while ago.

cut in two???!?!

was it sawn (?) after machjined or before?

is that the "done" thing? seems a strange thing to do.

Standard practice for the bike engined brigade

...standard for gearbox kart racing too: has been for years.

It'll be fine so long as the sprocket is mounted onto bolt/stud shanks and the sprocket mounting holes have been reamed to suit, and that the mounting flange is true. Otherwise you will suffer with excessive chain wear.....

All done, just a swap on this:
