Hi Derek,
All 1 5/16 cranks should all be machined to the same jernal width. So you can fit austin pheonix and HADLEY rods.
Same with the 1 1/2, only they are actually a metric jernal to take shells.
Pheonix do not make the 45% rods,
Here's the sad part, I used to make the 1 5/16 rods on 45%. But the profit margins were just to small. Making £50 a set pushes me to close to the vat level. Same as some of the other large items I'm looking at making, meen I have to stop doing some smaller items.
I'll have a word with mark at pheonix in a bit about rods, as he is dropping in on me latter to take about the next batch of crank and rods.
Tony
