Can someone point me to a reputable supplier?

No Spruce. I found that out on the field at Osh. SkyGeek has them. Duh, I did a search for the part number provided by Lycoming 72566.

Do you need the 149 tooth version with the small diameter pulley? If so I've got one. I needed the 149T large pulley for the LSE ignition; mine is from O-320-D3G and shows the same p/n

I just need the ring gear itself, not the whole flywheel.

I live a short distance from them.
I hand carried my flywheel and they installed the ring gear while I waited. They are located at KZPH, Zephyrhills, FL

Thanks. I might just do that. I have an RV friend that can run me down there. Quick hop from LA (lower Alabama).

I got the new gear from SkyGeek. They actually drop shipped from Atlanta and I got it overnight.

I read the history and also found the Lycoming service instruction (circa 1965). This was about the easiest thing I have ever done.

Throw flywheel in the freezer overnight.
pre-heat oven to 500 degrees.
Bake the ring gear for 60 minutes.
Dropped right on.
In fifteen minutes, it was ambient temp and ready to bolt on.

Thanks VAF.
