Those look like the older plastic sprockets using the allen set screw.

I would say now is the perfect time to upgrade to the "new and improved" V2 sprockets that use a threaded mast and have a brass insert.

Especially if you are using turbo fins. The notch cut in the old style masts can be a weak point under stress.

The threaded V2s are so much easier to deal with than the worrisome allen set screws.

Seeing that we have had the threaded mast and sprocket setup on the drives for a couple of seasons... I have to guess these failed parts are a bot older than that.

As Yak said... upgrade. There is a kit that comes with two masts and two sprockets (either standard or Turbo).
