Nicely designed and executed, not everyone gets the function and style right.
Problem is, I spent a couple of noisy hours this afternoon with a 4" disc grinder clamped upside down in a Rigid pipe vice, dodging showers of sparks.
I was hand grinding the third row of 57 teeth off my clutch basket to suit a Duplex primary chain and seeing wondrous workshops like yours, Icrken and comnoz, makes me feel a bit third world...

As long as it works, it's as good as a fancy CNC process. I still do a lot of work with files, grinders, and hammers.

These are out there to catch the eye and start conversations, optional black (pretty much any colour) anodise finish avaliable.

The big plus points are easy MKIII 520 Xring chain conversion (fit Dominator gear box sprocket say 22t ) and a wide range of final drive ratios with easy change rear sprockets, replacement rear sprocket under £20, JT853 series sprockets available on ebay in Steel or aluminium, unsprung weight reduction from the 6082 aluminium carrier alone.

Are you selling those sprocket carriers? I would be interested in a 520 conversion unit in black. Also are the sprockets an off the shelf item and still 2 piece axel I assume?
I saw the one made by CNW but they are for drum brake pre Mk III models.

Hi Ray

Yes I will be selling some of the carriers, I have 3 spare from the first batch, Sprockets are off the shelf I just had a quick check on ebay.com in the US for example eBay item number:282745378461,there are plenty of folks selling JT853 series sprockets.
You would reuse your std 2 piece rear axle. Send me a PM or start a conversation let me know if you would like just a carrier complete with bearing bolts and seal or a complete kit with sprockets and chain.

Look forward to hearing from you.
 
Very nice. I thought CNW made something like this, but looking at the website, I can´t finde it. Was I dreaming?

No. CnW used to sell a kit for the Mk3 manufactured by Jim Comstock. Some months ago CnW wrote the kit was soon to be available again but this note has since disappeared. Maybe Matt will chime in with the latest news.

Just got my carrier and sprockets. Very nice bits. Plan to install in a couple of months when I'll install my Alton. I'll highly recommend her.

Very nice! But if you really want to impress us, go make one for the MK11's....them things is expensive to change out just because the sprocket is done!
