Hi all, I have inherited from my late grandfather a selection of stuff. In amongst the stuff is a mystery crankshaft, still in its protective wrapping from when he ran the garage on Bowes Moor in the 50's and
60's. The tag on it says Austin 5HP STD, =A315-6-6, =A36-6-6 Exchange, and the address of the garage. It has 3 mains and 4 cylinders, one end is stepped, the other end has a flange with 4 holes in it. I cannot see if its part of the crank, or a seperate piece, as its covered. on the web near the flange end is a cast in number, 1746, with maybe an L in front. I would measure the journels, but it seems a shame to remove the protective cloth (?) wrapping.Does anyone know or have any idea what this might fit? I suspect its austin seven, but they werent 5hp... dimensions of bore and mains spacing can be taken, if its of help.
thanks
Dave
