Sprocket to suit 530 chain is 8.8mm thick. Sorry, can't help with sprocket OD, as they vary from bike to bike. Give me a tooth count, and I'll work it out for you though.

stupid fotango reduces that phot sizes so they are bit small-



the yellow bit is the selector fork, which would be operated in the same way as the engine gear selection, to get reverse it just pulls out the locking mechanism into the little blocks with the teeth on them, which bolt to the chassis. foreward locking mechanism is kept in place with springs so that the selector fork doesnt do any work, and there is zero friction.
as said earlier, there are no moving parts at all in foreward, not even a bearing.
the whole thing is only 63mm wide, and 232mm diameter, most of the parts can be made from ally too, so it should light as a feather, or a couple thousand feathers maybe?
