Thanks Ruairidh
The heavy rod carries the Austin logo whereas others just letters MF, but even these seem not to be a set! Do not appear to have been remetalled.
Can understand the demand for aftermarket axles and cranks but surprised conrods were also available. Possibly so many were mutilated by filing and dented by the much used crude straightening jigs that it was more simple to fit a new rod than sort used ones.
Most parts of a Seven have a well made appearance as do 1 1/8 conrods, but many of the later are quite motley looking!
