Re: pic: Colson Wheel and Sporcket.
1. A paint can opener has a hooked end, so I sharpened this on a grinding wheel until the edge was like a chisel (think of a paint scraper). Then I mounted the wheel on a bolt and spun it in a drill press and, using the sharpened scraper, started shaving away.

2. For the bolt holes I went online and printed a full size drawing of the kit sprocket, which I glued to the aluminum to show me where I had to cut and file, including where to drill the bolt hole. I used the same method to align the bolt holes on the wheel.

[EDIT]Sorry, Billfred. Misread your first question, but Greg answered it below.[/EDIT]
