Do you know what chain size you used and how many teeth each sprocket is? That'd make it easy for me to order, I don't have a store near by to do trial and error. Thanks. Great job by the way! Further to my question is an answer. I used a 420 chain. This is what fit my sprocket for the door shaft. 420 is a 1/2" pitch with 1/4" space in the chain for the sprocket teeth. Bicycle chain is 40. 410 is standard 1/2" pitch with 1/8" space. 415 is 1/2" pitch with 3/16" space. You get my point.

Great job! Where did you get the sprocket from to match the opener? Having a hard time finding it. -does the opener still reverse if it contacts a 2*4 on the floor? -how to release the door for manual use?

I got it from Peavey Mart, but Princess Auto has as well. Chain has lots of side to side slack on opener, but pitch is correct. It still auto reverses with obstruction. You would need to drill right through sprocket and jackshaft and put a quick pin if you want quick manual use. Otherwise you have to loosen the screws on the sprocket.
