I can get them made but££££££. You would be better with a 64mm and a off set pin.

well iv had word from mr broadhurst on this one.
he is watching!
and he has 64mm alfa cranks on his shelf.
the price of this with the rod i want would be £600.
fantastic i thought!
but he wont sell me one incase i slag him off
if my kwak lump went bang.
pitty realy because we all know his cranks are the dogs
b@11@x.so im still looking and will have to end up using an inferior
crank that has a lot more chance of going boom.
so it looks like the engine is going to be an ornament from now
on because i cant afford for him to rebuild the top end.
thats also a shame because its a top bit of engineering
that mark did quite some years ago and all i wanted to do was enhance
and update his excellent work.

I have a 120mm rod for it if that gets you a bit closer. I know its not 125 but not sure how far down the engineering route you've gone, or whether you've got ya piston sorted so you might be able to make it fit. :D
