Belt & Braces or Bodge?

Hi Guys/Galls,
While changing my inner clutch casing I spotted this:

As the drive is a press fit to the end of the crank and the engine was running ok before I took it apart, is this a security measure that would be undertaken or is it a bodge?

Cheers
Bernie

Somewhere on the forum - one of the chaps had a Stan Stephens crank, that had the same treatment as yours!

Dont think its bad, but it means if you have to have a crank rebuilt, more agg!

Why would this be pressed in and not use a woodruff type key ?
Just looking at it from an LC engine point of view

Hi Buz,

This is in my Stan Stevens 300cc conversion, thanks for the reply I will have a look for the thread.

Cheers,
Bernie

Hi Bernie. I think it was about 2008 vintage!

Good luck Buz
