Bought a crank of ebay the other week and it arrived yesterday, Unwrapped it today to find that it is a steel crank with `s` size big ends both at std/std. it`s fully wedged. will get some better pics later as it is a the engineers for him to look over and grind if necessary

Oh the best bit is i paid £37 for it!!!!!!!!!!!

It was just advertised as mini crankshaft!! And they had mis-spelled mini miglia (mini miglin)

Just been looking and i think it`s a EN40B steel nitrided crank. £852 +vat from minispeed!

dont get too excited, it may well be a rover item modified, it is not crossdrilled as all aftermarket forged and billet items would be, what condition is the tail in, it needs to be unmarked,

I would say most likely Doug Kiddie EN40B crank with that reference. I imagine a phone call to them would confirm that
