That's a great story Tony, shame we don't make the same volume and quality of steel components that we used to.
pretty sure the number on the crank was same as the engine number, 4337. The engine came from down-under via Hans Compter some years back so i have no idea of it's past lives. It's now re-united with a '24 chassis.
Were Shardlow's cranks only used on work's engines? (presumably of some improved quality over the Austin cranks?) Or were they just an alternative supplier of similar quality cranks i wonder...
