Penta crank - one for James?

Am I correct in thinking that this would fit a B230 lump from a 240/early 740 but not from a 940/later 740? Or would it not fit any of them?

That's correct - mid-late 80s B200 or 230. It's being sold by Dave Slater / Volvorsport...:)

Putting it in a B200 would be a cool idea - greater displacement without the greater (but still small) HG failure risk of a B230, and it's forged :) I think it's the only factory forged crank for a B200/230 (unlike the 19/21/23).

cheers
