 Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2023 8:42 pm Post subject: New Old Stock BMC Crankshaft - Austin 8 |
 |
|
I have for sale a new old stock BMC crankshaft which I am told fits an Austin 8. It has the original box which is a little tatty.
It has been properly stored and kept thoroughly greased.
The numbers stamped on it are 1A1970
The part no. on the box is 39354 STD.
I can provide photos if required.
Price is £100. Due to size and weight I would rather that the buyer collects from me.
Location Trowbridge, West Wiltshire

Hello Phil. That sounds interesting.
Perhaps you would be interested to note that BMC was formed in early 1952 and the Austin 8 was withdrawn in October 1947.
...you see where I am going with this?
Does the box have BMC printed on it?
Perhaps it is A30 or A40?
I hope you don't mind my asking... |

Austin (and BMC) continued to supply parts for earlier cars. I recall rescuing a store-full of Austin Seven parts in the late-1960s, many of which were in BMC packaging.

I learnt to drive in 1959 in a 1934 Austin Ten/Four. It had a leaky throttle spindle, caused by wear in the carb body making a slightly oval whole. We had to join a waiting list for a new carb.
The examiner let me off the slightly high tick over when I told him about the leaky spindle and pointed out the slight whistle it caused.
The site wants me to use the American spelling for the second word of my posting.

Hi. Yes it does have BMC on the box.
I am not sure if it is A30/35. The chap I spoke to is adamant that it's Austin 8. He's going to check the numbers on another crank he has to see if they match.
I do think it's for an Austin with a small engine though.
Hoping it's if use to someone as it would be a shame for it just to sit in a box. |

Actually, I think A30 cranks have 2A numbers so you could well be right. |
