[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 109908, member: 456"] Just to make clear why Dave61 asks the question. With the Walkernators I supply a 3/8" BSF high tensile steel central bolt and a 1/4" BSW short socket headed screw to fix the sprocket on. Both are pre drilled for locking wire to be used and enough locking wire for at least two attempts. My reasoning behind this is that the system is capable of supplying up to nearly half a kilowatt and that, in very round figures, is half a horse power. It will never do this unless the.bike is started with a flat battery and then only for seconds until the battery volts have risen. Unlike some permanent magnet systems only enough power is produced to balance whatever is required by the load being imposed, light, ignition and so on. Therefore most of the time the system takes less power from the engine than some other systems. However, half a horse power is a lot more than the two Phils would ever have imagined and that is not a good place in the drive train to have a failure. You can't use the same 3/8" central bolt in other systems but you can make use of the offset hole in the pinion and wire lock the parts together. [/QUOTE]
