Hi Ted , you can use that gear cluster to get you up and running and
testing. It is a set from a later D7. The only common gear with a C/R
set is the 22t mainshaft slider. The 21-26t output pair could be used
on a 175 racer on certain circuits. Final drive sprockets anywhere
between 13,14,15,16, gearbox and 46 to 60 rear sprocket depending
on the rev's/state of tune. Look at the gearbox info on the main page.

Ignition - nobody uses points anymore. Research PVL, Electrexworld 176 and Rex Caunt Ignitions. PVL and Electrexworld will be cheaper.

Have you made it along to a meeting yet?

Regards Mike
