Back in the early 1960s I was rebuilding a 997 Mini-Cooper engine which had broken its crankshaft. I found a scruffy Standard 850 shaft and went to the local BMC dealer, put it on the counter and asked for an exchange quoting the Cooper part number, since exchange was far cheaper than outright sale. As it happened the exchange shaft I got given was brand new, so I did rather well from the deal.
