Please note that the crankshaft which we have just produced to R's latest LeC. is the crank which we shall use for F.2 series. The journals and pins are the same in every respect as our present crankshaft, so that the new crank will drop into the same crankcase as the old. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
