What type of bolt are you going to use, someone on here did it also sometime having seen my fix and went with out the circlip, but for some reason the bolt head sheared. He didn't say if it was an normal or high tensile bolt he used or if it was over tightened.
Since the sprocket is splined onto the shaft, would it not be easier and secure enough to drill through the nut and into the sprocket. Then remove both, clearance hole in the nut, threaded hole in the sprocket, reassemble and bolt up?

Then remove both, clearance hole in the nut, threaded hole in the sprocket, reassemble and bolt up?maybe ,but we have successfully done it this way and its more than fine , i can change sprockets at will without re doing what you are suggesting every time you need to change , there are many ways of achieving this though , this one was favourite for me. once done its back to a state of normal use , even if i wanted to sell it on ( but i wont and dont intend to ) it can only ever be seen by anyone as an improvement in the least affecting way over the standard arrangement, even looks better and is easy to change sprockets still, there's no downside , its better than the original set up .
