Default attaching sprocket.

Why can't i just take the dust cover off a crusier wheel. Mount the sprocket and then cut a round piece of coke can or roof flashing and glue it to the sprocket as a new cover.

All you have to do is either grind out the sprocket a little or grind the edge off the cap. I grind the edge off the cap, then stick it back on with grease.

I have a problem with attacching the sprocket and the coaster brake arm, the sprocket that came with my kit is flat not dished and the coaster brake arm does not fit on its mount on the wheel with sprocket mounted on the wheel. Have others have the same problem and how do you fix it to have rear brakes. Thanks in advaance for any and all help.

Yes note you have to bend the coaster brake arm. It will have to be bent to offset the front of the arm. Kind of looks like a lightening bolt. I don't have a pictures but someone probably does..... If you have a vice it is pretty easy without one you might have to use a hammer and pipe method. lay it over a pipe and hold one end then hit the other to bend it.

Much easier with a vise. You are just ending the arm out so it will clean the bolts I expect.

Yeah, just mark it and put a shallow "Z" bend in it.
