That's interesting, the only other one I've seen was broken across the rear web. The one listed would make a great (if rather pricy) decor item. But I think I'd rather put that £1600 towards a 1 1/2" Phoenix crank and rods if I was actually going to put it into a motor.

Thats why I have a Hadley crank and rods waiting to go into a Nippy crankcase.
Not a lot more money in the grand scheme of things.

Stuart,

I wondered if you were referring to the one shown in the attached 'photo.

According to the diaries of Harold Biggs, half of this crank came from a broken Holland Birkett engine and half was made new by Laystall to suit. Do you think my unbroken half is worth £800?

Only joking.

Interesting but really only as a museum piece. With the Austin rods having an inherent fault with the little end if they aren't worn then they soon will be.

RE: Laystall crankshaft - Alan - 16-05-2021

On the other hand, if someone started making new ones, pressure fed and in 1.5inch I might just be interested. (Hint)

hi alan,

you could always get some made yourself, and offer them to the rest of us. Wink

Might have to - I have a drawing somewhere I think

RE: Laystall crankshaft - Charles P - 16-05-2021

That would be a fun project Alan. Suitable for my never ending 10 stud crankcase endeavour
