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.

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.

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