Saw this on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-Morris- ... 46114391b3 looks cheap for at least the seven 1275 rods.
What do they normally sell for?
Personally I'd probably buy them if they were closer to me.

Looks like 7 small journal 1275 rods in there. Worth $$$

IMO S/small J 1275 conrods are worth ~$100-150 a set (4) in unknown condition.
You would then throw the old bolts and nuts away, check/resize the big ends, check for straightness and little end diameters. And balance them as a set.
$$$ adds up...

I'm using a lrg J crank but it's ground down a bit (not really suitable for stroking anymore).

I was hoping someone on here would be able to buy them, like I said I would have got them but it was pick up only and it's a bit far away :roll: .
