I was reading about the impending shortage of cam chains for Zane bikes. Really a question for Piet (apologies) would it be a possible thing to change the cog on crank and cams to suit a new more common type of chain.

You'll need to machine a new centre journal with a different sprocket.  Don't think another sprocket can be grafted onto the old one due to its small size, ie, it won't slip over the integral bearing races, or you do a complete re-design or fit a split sprocket like AJS/Matchless did on the 7R/G50 rear wheel. :D

Chain is still available, just drop me a line.  All I need to know is if it is for an air- or liquid-cooled engine. ;)

Good to know  :).  Reasonable stock, Piet?  I don't want to start a wave of panic buying, you understand.

It's not Nutella, after all ...  :o.
