I didn't want to start a new thred so does anyone know if there are any companies still making 91mm(or close) stroke cranks.
I rang Farndon and they will do a custom one from billet for around 1000 Pounds, and Brickworx said they had one in the making ages ago but I'm unsure if it went anywhere.

Are you using 2500 pistons? - got any spare, ive got 3 good ones, and one thats out of round...


I was given a pile of 2nd hand old sh!tty std triumph 2500 pistons years ago from ted Davis (One of The old Triumph Gurus up here in Brisbane) i think i have about 10x of them,,, they`re pretty yukky looking but i cleaned up the best looking 4x of them & they`re in my 1500 donk,,, so,,, yeah i have some spares but you won`t like the look of them :-)

3 of mine are pitted, which i can deal with...but one is out of round, which i guess is less than ideal :D
