He can do rods for a Phoenix crankshaft without the crank as well.

Try Google:

 "John Kirkby Croydon"

His costs are far more reasonable than some I have seen quoted.

Had a set done in the last month. If you would like the cost he charged me, send me a PM.
I have had a set re-metalled for a phoenix without supplying the crank. The size was spot on but the radiuses needed a little scraping.
I now send the crank as well.
Adrian.
