Vintage, Original, Austin Mini Cooper S Crankshaft 1275 Cc Std, Std Hard To Find on 2040-parts.com

Up for auction / your consideration is an Vintage, used Austin Mini Cooper S Crankshaft.  This crankshaft is at least 40 years old and should be considered used and vintage by all means it is not New Old Stock.  This is the later model 1275 cc engine with the 2.001 inch main journal size, and the 1.625 inch rod journal sizes.  This crankshaft is standard, standard sizes, with some wear on it. Please examine all the photos, carefully, as you can see there are some nicks and small scratches on the journals, nothing major, but this crankshaft is not perfect.  This crankshaft has gone through the factory nitriding process of hardening the journals to protect them when in use.
The mains have been cross-drilled, I am not sure if this was done by the factory or not, the job was very nicely done and only helps to keep the mains oiled properly.
The front and rear threaded holes are not damaged or modified in any way, they could use some cleaning, however the threads are in very nice shape.
I did glass bleed the crankshaft as it has been in possession for 40 plus years and there was some surface rust on the counter weights.  I do not know the history, except that it has been sitting around a machine shop for 40 plus years and that it is used.
