    New Cosworth Crank Suppliers

    Hi Guys,

    Which companies supply new YB Cosworth cranks? Im considering switching to a fully counterweighted crank before my engine goes back together.

    I've come across Arrow and Farndon so far.

    Any horror stories or recommendations?

    Cheers,

    Phil.

    Hi Joe,

    How well finished are they? Have you seen one of the Arrow Engineering cranks? The Arrow is substantialll more expensive, is there value in the extra cost?

    Cheers,

    Phil.

    Hello

    If you do consider the arrow components give me a shout as I can supply with a discount.
