Crank for a wilesco d6 - or measurements SORTED

Hey all,

Does anyone here happen to have a crank for a D6, or is anyone able to supply me with measurements? Centre to crank pin is really all I need to know.

Thanks,

Moose

What is the stroke of the D6? Divide that in 2 and thats your center to crank measurement..

Why do you need to know?

11mm as near as I can measure with a steel rule (i.e. near enough). Shaft diameter is about 4mm, crank pin diam 3mm, length 55mm.

I have a D6 minus crank.....not 100% sure of the stroke as the piston doesn't fully utilise the cylinder.

Shaft diameter is exactly 4mm, I measured it with a digital caliper.

I have a D6 at home, and I would be happy to take measurments with pictures.

Just let me know....
MooseMan

Yes please Owen!!!

OK.  I will do it tonight, and PM you the results. I have a tripod which will help.
MooseMan

You da man!

Would you be able to take some pics of the steam pipe where it goes into the portface as well?
David Curtis very kindly gave me a "to be restored" D6 when he visited here to pick up his big boat.

No problem.  I can even post them in the pictures section if other would like to see them.
MooseMan

Might as well - you never know who needs them. No rush though mate.

Hi Moose - is this part any good to you? It is an early type D6 crank end that is threaded to take the 4mm crank shaft - you would only need the pully and shaft then. If you want it just PM me your address and I will post it off to you.

OK.  I posted 12 pictures in the pictures area.  I hope they help.  If you need any more measurement, just let me know!!
