Recommended sprocket supplier

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 !

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.

was it sawn (?) after machjined or before?

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.....
