Shaun, the machine shop is going to contact me today and give me my options...he needs to measure everything thoroughly before he commits to pass sentence.
Option A) buy greater undersized bearings bearings and grind the hell out of the crank which means I am stuck with bearings I cannot use and need to sell on.
Option B) buy another crank and grind to the bearing size I need......
I am guessing these will be my options. My crank is an early type without the flanges on the big ends. Royal kustoms have plenty in stock, but my experience with buying cranks even second hand......not cheap. If I go route B I will get RK to grind a crank I buy from them to suit the bearings I have.
