I went down to our local Auto/farm discount store and found sprocket blanks for the crank, clutch and rear sprockets.  Cheap!  The welding shop that I use to repair other motorcycle stuff (like my broken KTM 990 sub-frame!).  Will be able to cut and weld everything together.  Thanks again for the ideas.

Thanks very much for the advice gentlemen.  Villiers Services does indeed have the ignition coil I need.   I will let you know how I get on with the sprockets.  I promised pics but cannot seem to upload successfully at my present internet speed.  Pls stand by.  Cheers.

I believe re-toothing sprockets is a lost art here.  I would be grateful if you could supply a contact in the UK.  I also need a contact for getting the magneto coil re-wound if you have one.  Thank you.

British Bikes / 1926 Sun Paragon Restoration
« on: April 27, 2017, 03:58:33 AM »
Hello.  I am restoring a 1926 Sun Paragon with a Villiers 8C engine and Albion 2 spd transmission.  I know very little about these machines and need some help with the drive train.  The engine and gearbox are in good condition and do not appear to need much work.  However the input sprocket/clutch plate for the transmission is worn and needs replacement.  It has 40 teeth and 12.7 mm chain pitch.  Does anyone know where I can source a new or refurbished part?  I also need a rear wheel drive sprocket .  It has 52 teeth and a 12.7mm chain pitch. Thanks in advance for any ideas.  I am located in Alberta, Canada and very few people here know anything about these vintage British bikes.  Will post pics soon.
