Sounds like they are stretching the meaning of forged. The word "billet" just means a big block of metal. This would imply that the metal was "forged" into a billet and then the crank was hogged out of this billet. If this is what was done, there would be no advantage to it. Still, the price is reasonable, but a OE forged crank with welded counterweights might well be better. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
