too bad does not have the original Mag sprocket- the original was stamped with a form that really associated it with a "mag" automotive wheel.
I bought one to update my Sting-Ray
also needed a longer chain and slightly larger cog to keep the gear ratio useable. Was like $8.50 - found a used one that could use replating and polishing $100.
