Chinese Made H20 Crank

Post by Curtis »

Has anyone purchased one of the repro cranks? If so are they cast or forged? Thanks.

Would like to build a stroker and the U20 crank I have has come up cracked under wet mag. Plus the cost to modify is silly.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.

I purchased one from Brian @ Sun City Datsuns. I assume it’s Chinese & I believe it to be cast. No problems with it so far but I have only 4000 miles on it so far.

Peace, Pat

I just read up on cast vs. forged and the appearance differences. I made the silly assumption that the G and R cranks were forged. Just the U20 crank has the look and sound of a forged crank.

So I can order a H20 crank from a supplier in the states for under $500 dollars. Not as cheap as what it cost to grind my G cranks but way less than the whole U20 mess.

Thanks Pat.
