1965 Maico Oval Barrel 360
« on: April 07, 2015, 07:56:02 am »
Don is working on a 1965 Maico Oval Barrel 360. He needs a new rod pin and rod bearing. Would also consider a decent crankshaft. Any leads on one? I have not found any sources in Europe or the USA so far.

Have you got any dimensions, it may be possible to use something later with some mods. Even custom made pin is possible.

It's actually at Mr Crankshaft right now. He has not been able to match it up with anything else that he uses, and he goes through the full catalog of PWC, ATV, snowmobile, etc rods and pins.

Use a square barrel crank Don. I am using a 74mm stroke 350 squarie crank in my own 360 oval barrel project.
