Retainer ring snapped-sprockets came apart- 5 gear thread on type free wheel hard to find- also replaced split hub- new wheel. This is where those cheap little oxy-propolene kits came in handy!!! Welding??- I don't think so, but they are great little brazers.
I have to edit this, cause I forgot about the spacers will melt if the ring is brazed while on the free wheel !! Still works, - used Dremol tool cutters to separate braze from 5th sprocket and tightened up the ring. I made sure there was no gap in the ring while brazing, cause otherwise the ring will be to large diameter for threads and will slip off.
Sooner or later I will need a new 5 gear and I found a place to get them and I've got 3 on order.
This will work just great till my new 5 gears come in.
