Hi again DuckGWR, thanks for the confirmations and yes I intend to use rods from spare sets I have. There are certain rear train wheel rods that are 2.5mm diameter but if I find myself without that diameter Amazon sells a 2mm size with the same 13mm OD (I should check my rods before deciding which to purchase then). I'll read the link for fun, maybe I'll learn something else. I'll keep posted
Edit: that was some fine sleuthing and a good read. Most notably on the other gears that might come up in my future.
Update: as I get closer to purchase, I'm really having doubts about the partial gear being originally 16-20T. It's hard to tell because even the estimated OD of the partial gear is guessed to be 8mm. With said estimated OD measure, a 142A fits that diameter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DH7RTJ...300U&psc=1).
Do you think my conclusion is correct DuckGWR?
