It's just that English roller chain and sprockets are more available (and
less expensive) than metric.

Ok I counted the gears.
Small Gear = 9 teeth
large gear = 88
The shaft diameter is .42 wide (15.7 mm?)
and .50 long
Other than the fact that you already have gears and chain what would be the
problem with using the 8 mm 05T Chain its set up for?
