I prefer using the original cranks if possible .
let me know about the T5 crank if you would like it doing ,but i have to charge more for those as there is more metal to remove from the wider webs :)

Why not just get a set of LML casings ?

i have a set of LML casings, but the conversion for a bigger carb, means I have to fit a fuel pump. which apparently causes more problems than its worth. I will try and make things clear in a few weeks when i get my winter project of the ground.
I will start with the LML casings and see how I get on but i would like to use this manifold from SIP and others, but it is not compatible with the LML casings.

I can vouch for both a P2 and a T5 crank done by Sean, it was actually a shame to use them they looked that good.

I can't understand why it does not fit either, but both beedspeed and LTH said it does not fit. The casings I have are the reed valve casings, there not modified. I don't know if it is the fixing screws of the manifold to the casings which don't match. If you have a picture of the engine that would be a great help. I don't want to fork out £140 and be stuck with the manifold. I agree with the engine set up being able to fly. I had a Polini kit and the standard LML reed set up and it lifted the front wheel in first and second everytime. Unfortunately the scooter got knocked over and the casings incurred a hair line crack which I did not notice for about another 1000 miles until the engine started to scream as the crack got bigger.
