[TR] advice needed for a crankshaft on ebay

[Kinderlehrer]

Thank you everyone that replied to my request, in spite of my senior moment
in switching the numbers , and particularly for the leads on other sources
for a replacement crankshaft. Opinions were unanimous to pass on this eBay
offer.

A friend is in need of a new crankshaft for her TR3 and found this on ebay:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triumph-TR4-TR3-Original-Engine-Crankshaft-Checked-f
or-Cracks-VGC-/331519279959?hash=item4d3016c357

for-Cracks-VGC-/331519279959?hash=item4d3016c357&vxp=mtr> &vxp=mtr

 

 

Do the measurements as stated mean that the crank has been ground to .040
less than original on the mains and .010 under on the rods? Is that a lot
for a crankshaft? Does the price seem reasonable? Are there any other
sources?

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Bob
