Beautiful cranks! None of those are 928 cranks though- maybe the Winberg? None of those snouts look familiar.

Quite correct Rob, I am looking at different aspects of their design and trying to cherry pick the best features. I did consult a non crankshaft maker who does a lot of reverse engineering, the quote was too much at about $5,000 USD. So I will probably just sit down with the crank maker and pay him some extra money.

Here's my Winberg Crank, both Winberg's are Nascar versions. One has lots of heavy metal to better position the counterweight and thus lighten the crankshaft.
