[QUOTE="oexing, post: 128569, member: 1493"] Greg, what´s your way of repairing a crank when you find a snapped Mills pin ? Try to align a new mainshaft and ream an oversized pin ? I wonder if one could do a mod on crank webs by broaching a parallel slot for a key and fit mainshafts like this prewar Horex below with slot ? It has a short taper fit, no great idea at all but the keyed shaft is allright and would be a fix for Vincent mains. As to selling a few new design sets of ESAs, I would have spent my money on new sets for sure when reports about them were confirming their effectiveness. No question for me to have some peace of mind afterwards to avoid any risk of desaster from a snapped chain - got two engines with welded cases with same history thanks, but no thanks. So I´d think a supplier could sell 50 or hundreds of these new ESAs to the community when reports prove them working as intended. Vic [ATTACH type="full" alt="P1070406.JPG"]37820[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
