    Thanks crazy for your advice, set me in the right direction.

    Made some progress, I wasnt happy with the boring tool so I made a tool holder from an old lathe boring bar that takes 3/16" HSS, ground up a tool and had another stab, reground it a couple of times untill I was getting a nice finish in the bore. Thought I better check the size and it was 22.2 mm well thats a bit over, never mind this is just a test crank, big mistakes are welcome!

    Went to Cliff Bond and got some cast iron to make a Lap with and while I was there got some CI to make a sleeve with. Funny place going out the back is like stepping back in time, all old machines most older than me by a good margin. While I was there an old guy brought a Model A piston in for rings, $95 for a set for 4 pistons, then another old guy came in with some old sidevalve bike barrel he needed 1 extra ring because he broke one. Cool place, no EFTPOS
    My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

    I've had a few bits done there, normally very helpful people

    Ferry Road, ChCh where they've been since WW2....

    Suppliers of rings for damm near anything too - they have a private online catalogue which enables them to find rings if you ring up and quote a bore size and ring widths....very useful. one example...Nissan LD28 rings for a Benelli 650 twin. Better than OE - and cheaper.

    Doesn't look like they've updated their equipment since then either

    They're between Fitzgerald ave and Barbadoes street

    I've had them do some rebores and headwork on a couple of bikes, Allan out the back has been very helpful as has Andrew out the front
