Mec Euro cranks ok to change the con – rod on or sil gp

[boxofbits]

Are these Mec Euro cranks ok to change the con – rod on –to a jap one, I’ve just got one kicking about so would like to use it – or is a sil one better – I heard the sil one are tight on the pin so are good- not sure about these mec euro one- ??

Old Mec cranks have the incompatible pin for a Yam Rod but I'm sure the new ones are okay.

mines an old one so i bet its no good is its 22.9 or something and it needs to be 22 ?

if it`s 22.9 only ok for a standard rebuild,

I had a Yam 110 rod fitted to a Mec Race Crank last year, by CS Engineering, Chris pronounced it a good basis for the conversion. It's been in a TS1 and is performing well. The pin was the standard lambretta size so not sure if that makes it an early one or not There was enough space to fit the shims that came with the Yambits kit.

i sent a old mec Gp crank and a injun Gp crank to Harry Barlow for converting to 115mm for use in my TS1 200, he couldnt convert the Mec because of the silly Lambretta pin dia, so just rebuilt it as a std Gp crank. the other has been in my Ts 3 years.
