the chain didn't jump because it had plenty of adjustment left in it and the chain was still fairly good, I "bow stringed" a bit, not something I'd normally do or recommend (but I knew I was changing the whole lot anyway), but it did the job the steel chain dug into the alloy and it got tightened every other day.

just the standard steel JT sprocket will do, or if you're really flush and want the flash look get the stealth type ones (alloy centres and steel tooth ring).

Cheers Mark.
