Hi mike i have an early crank, the engine it came out of had done 65,000 so nothing major tho i still had it re ground as wanted it to be perfect and have a full set of bearings too, only reason im not using it is that i have used a steel crank now instead, kept it as a spare for a second engine, tho it will now not be needed. it has been fully measured and crack tested and is spot on.

It is in the Burton on Trent, Staffordshire area or can post, postage will be around £25 fully insured, tracked sent by tnt, let me know what pic's you want exactly and ill get them asap for you.

regards mike

I can collect from staffordshire as its pretty local. Pictures of journals etc for score marks would be good please.

What price you asking?

Lobes are different shape to later ones. I dont know any other way of telling though.

Hi Mike

As not to beat around the bush, Price its cost me well over £250 and would cost you that at least if not more would do it for £175 payment can be however you want cash on collection or paypal up to you. price may seem high but its a good crank, bearings alone were over £100.

Pictures will be on way asap, it is at my engine builders workshop so will get him to take some pic's and forward them on to me. Will give him a call tomorrow and update you, If the price is too steep let me know as i wont bother getting pic's if i dont have too.

Regards mike

Hi mike

Hi mike

Not sure if your still interested but i was scanning through my pic's and noticed i took a couple of the crank before i sent it off to be checked over when i was going to use it before i bought my steel crank so here it is and the bearings are glyco's sorry if pic's were a bit rubbish as i did not have a very good camera.

Ah buger ive been had! it used to be an early one, you know i never noticed that, about 2 years ago i sent it off to be reground got it back checked over journal's for damage ect... and wrapped it up an put it away for when i needed it. It must of been swapped with another when was getting reground! ah well.

Sorry about that mike. if your still interested let me know as its still a good crank may let it go for a bit less will try to get hold of my engine builder tomorrow as he should be back in and let you know.

Many thanks for spotting that lee cant belive i never noticed spose when you not looking for it ect...
