It may have come with the 49D? Period is ok for that. Was it cottered before?

 

[chickendrumsticks]

I dunno. When were cotterless cranks first used? Forgive my ignorance please.

I think first reference to the Stronglight 49D was mid to late 30s. Certainly available post war. I don't associate you with ignorance
