Unused 343 Oettinger Forged Crankshaft for B14 engine, Germany.
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:

You'd need to source suitable shorter rods.
