I've just been given news after a thorough inspection of my race engine crank that it is stuffed!
I am in urgent need of a new big end set . It's a straight 38mm crank pin bottom end, I am looking for a twin rib setup or something equally as strong. (It's a 79 ss style bottom end)
I've checked out Lacey Ducati in the uk, a nice looking setup made for them, a little expensive, but I'm looking for a good crank setup, not something like what some "experts" set up for me in this engine, and has thankfully just been caught before a catastrophic failure. ( you can't trust too many so called experts anymore can you).
That said, if anyone can advise of places they may know that can assist with supply of a new big end set I will be grateful, and I may still get to race at the upcoming Barry Sheene meet in Sydney.
It's a big world, hopefully we can get some info flowing quickly.
Thanks

Yes Vince, he's the man who's got the crank and diagnosed my problems, even he can't find bits, hence a wider search.
Dave at moto italia is looking around.
Have been in touch with Ian G.

Hey grant,
I thought Pete Smith Epicycle is/was somewhere around Bellingen.
Did a quick google for Epicycle
