sprocket and stuff

[coffee]

You could try some of your local little engineering supply shops. I went through eBay to find some big sockets (for my FJ gearbox sprocket for one) and they were all about the same price as you quoted, plus delivery and a couple of days wait.

I looked up local engineering/supply companies and found a couple straight away that had the bigger sockets in stock at the same price (or slightly cheaper) so I managed to get the jobs done without any delay.

Also, for a little bit more money, Halfords stock bigger sockets too - I suppose I'm just impatient so I don't like waiting for things to be delivered 

              I did phone Halfords and they wanted 13£ for the socket and I figured seeing as I don't need the bike for everyday use(I'm mainly a fair weather rider) I'd save myself a fiver and wait,I'd got to do the cush drive rubbers anyway and there's another story,I hadn't quite got them into the hub  far enough and this must have only been a few thou,do you think I could get the wheel in? no way,after thinking what I could have done I tapped the sprocket all the way around just to make sure it was home and bingo! straight in,something to remember in the future. :rolleyes
