Some thoughts on my cranks:
New cotter pins from ebay are of TERRIBLE quality(this may not always be the case but the 3 pairs i got were shite, eventually got a pair made by a machinists in hackney somewhere). Smack them in good and hard with a hammer and tighten the bolts with a much bigger washer than the ones provided with the new pins. Don't go mad with the bolts otherwise you risk stripping them.
They do work loose now and again so keep them tight. QUOTE]
overall prob best to just buy a new BB, plus you'll def get the chain line you want.
