Thank you
Richard Dillon

hi if you need a new one B&C EXPRESS SPROCKETS will make you a new one i have put a post on the suppliers forum or you can try john budgen he is very good for new and secondhand ariel parts you will have to ring him at the moment as his web site is being updated you will find his ad in the old bike mart if you get it

Hi Johnny
Many thank's for the note and I will contact them, John Budgen was very helpful over the phone but could not help out with a rear sprocket or even anything else that would possibly fit.
I think the FWH will only use that type of sprocket with the built in bearing housing.
Regards

hi have you tried the clubs gearbox spares he may help , or the club single spares or look on ebay under Ariel spares the fwh hubs come up a lot on there

Hi Richard.

I have received your PM and replied.

Hi Richard, there's an article by Vincent van Ginneke on re-toothing your current sprocket to take a standard flat sprocket.I have this done on my '57 Huntmaster. Put the phrase re-toothing 1956 sprocket in the search box at the tiop of the page

Hi Mick
I had a stroke of luck at Popham auto jumble yesterday in the pouring rain, just about to leave and noticed a complete wheel with the hard to find sprocket in a very good condition and all for £75.00 !!
Happy days
Thank's for your post regarding the re toothing.

Be alert there Richard, as the BSA B31 of the same age takes the the same back wheel but has a 1/4” chain, not a 3/8” chain as your NH has.
If anyone wants a rear sprocket for a B31 in usable condition, for a tenner plus postage, send me a PM.
