After much trekking I managed to find someone to suplly me with a crank bolt (Lloyd & Smith New Chester Road). They willk have this for me tomorrow morning.
But!
There's allways a but.....
They cant supply me with a large enough washer / spacer (see pics)
Doe's anyone know someone with a lathe that would be willing to make a one off for me? I've put a £1 coin next to it for size comparison.
I need one close to 50mm in diameter.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
