This is on a standard Lynx 200 rebuild. The engine doesn't look like it's had a particularly hard life but it has been standing for several years with the exhaust ubend loose.
I had the crank split today in the hope that the conrod and pin would be OK, maybe require just a new big end bearing. Unfortunately, the pin was quite badly pitted by rust so I basically need a new conrod kit.
Can anyone recommend a good quality Conrod replacement kit?

I know most people just buy another crank but if anyone's interested for a future standard rebuild, I got a MEC/EUR conrod kit from Scooter Restorations for £48, and had the conrod kit fitted and the crank static balanced for a tenner. Still well cheaper than a new crank and I can be pretty certain the crank is true.
