Re: 15 tooth + double sprockets
I do think double sprockets will be hard to find, especially if you want them in aluminum like the andymark ones.

Although a machined double sprocket would probably be inherently stronger, I don't see why bolting sprockets together would be "fishy engineering." If the bolts are properly sized, there's no reason for them to fail. Bolts are used to transfer rotation between two parts on dead axles all the time, so why not between two sprockets?
Alternatively, you could simply use two broached sprockets, mounted back-to-back on the same shaft.
