Default Cosworth YB crank...

Seems to be a big disparity in prices, anywhere between £250 to nearly a grand! What is a fair price these days?

Does it make much of a difference in the sizes? As a standard grind is a fair bit stronger at top end than a .25 or .50 grind?

but a good standard standard seems to fetch £350-450 a .25 and a .50 the n/a cossie boys like them and there more £250

Nope, never heard of them until I seen them at Autosport. There were actually a surprising number of manufacturers like that doing cranks, rods, pistons etc.

I think they were based in Holland, although that website suggests Greece

There seems to be some decent stuff coming from Greece for the motorsport people.
