Steve,
I've joined..

I won the 2000 crank for $72. Have to go to work from 3:30 to 10 p.m. If you find the heat shield, let me know here, I will ck when I get home this evening. Once your crank is modified, I would appreciate it if the machine shop could provide a machinists drawing of what they did, with dimensions, etc. so I can do my crank. I have a 13x40 Jet lathe and a Grizzly milling machine for such work. Good tip on the top bow repair through CD MS. I will ck out that avenue.
