The RTOC received a message from someone, I assume, in Germany to see if we were interested in what might be a special crankshaft from 1979. I thought I post the message here as I've no idea what the item is or if it is a collectable. This gives everyone (who looks here everyday) a fair chance if it is a nice piece of kit:

hallo rtoc members,
I like to offer a new unused Forged Crankshaft.Technical Details at the bottom.
The 343 Oettinger, commissioned from the VW/Audi tuning company Oettinger by Dieter Laxy, Volvo Deutschland's sales director, was presented at the Nürburgring for the 1979 model year. Oettinger had up until then only been tuning VWs and Audis.
B14 Renault engine, 1596 ccm instead of 1397 ccm
66 kW / 90 PS instead of 51 kW / 70 PS
Technical changes:
forged crankshaft with a longer stroke.
For any further informations please contact me via mail.
Best Regards

End of message.You'd need to source suitable shorter rods.
