Sprockets!

More work done today on the swing arms, no pics though :-( But here's a couple of pics of the replacement steel sprockets. Are they nice or are they nice? There's a bit of work still to do with these but the basic disc is just the job!

These are the inside swing arms with one showing the compression spring attachment.
