I sure hope so! I've taken pics through the whole process and will post them up with the final product when I'm done.  I'm building a custom roll cage from scratch that will be primarily supported by the frame, won't be stable upside down to make it easier to flip it back over and with some sort of over engine folding cargo rack built in.   Can't wait for it to be finished!

Well, Whipper.. or should I refer to you as 'Capt Obvious' from now on?    A buddy just spent a lot of time welding up the sprockets we thought would work, and they didn't.   Hate to ask him to remake them if I don't have to, hence me asking for sources of complete units for the rear, and if I do need him to remake them, if the units aren't available, I asked for sources of just the sprockets.  Was that hard to understand or infer from my post?  I'm checking with Richard now.     Enjoy the popcorn Wedge.

Why can’t you get the person who made the custom front and center sprockets
To make you the custom ones for the rear?
Have you checked with Richard?
He may have all the parts you need. If he doesn’t  I’m sure he can make them.

The restoration project is nearing the finish line but I'm having an issue finding the correct rear sprocket(s) and Max6x5 lists the non-splined model as discontinued....  locally we could only find a 36t main sprocket and constructed on with that 36t and 26t drive sprocket only to find that the difference between the 34t and 36t was enough to not clear the tub and the rear of the frame... a lot of work down the drain...  Suggestions?   
So far replaced- all tension sprockets, front sprocket and brake drum (custom), center 26tx2 drive sprockets (custom), all the bearings, brand new 4140 axles with wheel flanges provided by Mudd-Ox, all new chains.. just need to figure out the rear sprocket issue and we're good to go.   Might have to rebuild the custom rear sprocket but will probably go to 33t or 32t to increase the distance to the tub as its really tight even with 34t.
