I figure if anyone knows the answer to this they'll be in this thread.
I want to put the old cotter pin cranks back on my grandads Flying Scot that I've just done some restoration work on.
I have the cranks, Stronglights with the wee 50.4mm bcd, but I don't have any of the original bottom bracket bits and don't really know where to start with looking for one.
I want (as close as possible to) a 42mm chainline as I'm using a track hub at the rear. Anyone know what length of spindle I need for that? Also, I know there are a few sizes of cotter pins, does everything (crank, spindle and pin) have to match or only certain bits?
Cheers, Ande.
