Title: Bristol crank wanted
Post by: Glen Smytheman on March 06, 2013, 07:45:43

Hi all,
   
   A friend over in NZ with a Bristol 405 has a requirement for a good used/new large-nosed crank.  I undertstand Farndon sells new cranks at about GDB 1750 + VAT but does anyone else have a good used one/new one for sale.  Will consider from anywhere in the world.  Many thanks, glen smytheman

You should post this message on the Bristol Cars Forum (http://"http://www.bristolcars.info/forums/wanted-anything-bristol-car-related/") as well. Good luck.

The only crank that I am prepared to let go is a Big nose which has been soft metal sprayed in some of the journals hence the price tag £300.However it would be fitted at the new owners risk. Rough measurements are 2.118 and 1.749 very approximate, it would require a grind.
   
   Other than that I would suggest getting one ordered from Farndon sooner rather than later, they are a good Firm and produce a good product but their lead times can stretch out.
