R1 sprocket adapter
Can anyone recommend a supplier for a sprocket adapter for a 2003 FI R1 engine please?
How are they secured to the R1's output shaft?
What's the diameter of the flange (is that the right word for the bit you bolt your driveshaft to?) for these things?
Thanks,
Mark

One here.

I got one of theirs for my zx9r. It takes a smaller PCD than the Ford prop, Marina or Reliant fit.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Evidently most blade ones can be machined to fit the R1 if you're struggling. The splines are the same but the flange needs to be a little
thinner on the R1 so would need machining down a little.

I orderer one from w**stfield's website, they were by far the cheapest I've seen.
It was an 87mm gearbox flange. (Standard size bailey morris prop shafts use and other probaby)
It's the one for the fireblade, I got it machined down as necessary at a local machine shop. Only problem is getting the nut to fit, but
I'm getting the shop to make me one up.
All in all cheaper than anyone round here can supply and I ordered it one day, it came 2 days later. Even better they take card so you don't
have the hasstle of sending a cheque off, waiting for it to clear etc etc.

I notice the other day whilst fitting the flange to my R1 that the nut only went on by a couple of threads..... The motor has to come back out yet to
fit the sump baffle, so I may just skim it down then, or just put the nut on backwards as they are counterbored on the rear face!
Still, I'd second the MNR vote as they seem very good quality for not much cash!
Spin 'er off Well...

The MNR one I have in the blade fits like a glove.

Best way is to have the raised bit on the back machined completly off, then just re-paint it.
You will be also be able to put the original locking ring back on behind the nut and have plenty of turns on the nut as well!
SORTED!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've gone with MNR as suggested for the sprocket adapter and a load of other stuff too,
Should have thought about all this before really as I've left myself with nothing to until all the kits arrives... guess I'll have to
spend some time with the family instead 
Cheers,
Mark

TKS, how deep is that part you've made up, how far does it hang off the sprocket splines?
Im a bit concerned as it looks quite similar in concept to the one in this thread
Anything that hangs off the sprocket like this is a timebomb waiting to fail IMO, the sproket shaft was never designed to take the type of loading
that something like this would put on. The prop flange really should be bolting on within a couple of cm of the output shaft end, not at the other end
of a long extenion piece.
If Im wrong and its just the way ive interpreted the picture then I apologise, just want to make sure as a flailing prop isnt something you want to
have!

Clanger,
Both your posts so far have been ringing endorsements of sasperformancecars as was your U2U to me recommending spc for the sprocket... any connection?
You can come clean if you're part of their team, I can't imagine anyone would mind, lol
Their website looks very impressive mind.
All the best,
Mark

Its a fair cop Mark 
I'm the good looking one on the left on our homepage 
Just subtly spreading the word about what we're up to down here in deepest darkest Wales.
You're all spoilt for choice with kit suppliers and stuff over the border so we thought we'd kick something off in the land of the
sheep-sh***rs. (now now, that's shearers  )
Come down and visit us sometime, we've got some superb roads where you can really see what a seven can do, not many speed cameras either. Also,
apart from putting together some nice cars we make a mean cup of tea aswell
Cheers
Clanger
PS. Thanks for the website endorsement. My first attempt.
Look out for the udated version coming soon !

Clanger,
Just been looking at the website and that blade car (the very blue build ) looks superb!
Have emailed you direct but was wondering if you sell the ali tubes for the blade cooling system?
thanks,
Rich.

Hi Rich,
No email yet matey. No problem on the pipes.
If you contacted general or parts enquiries, then its possibly been directed to one of our other departments.
I'm the good looking technical Guru
Clicky clicky, technical enquiries and it'll wing its way to me.
Cheers
