Super cool build! Should be quite stout when it’s all said and done. This stuff can be frustrating when you gotta redo the same operations over and over, but you’re almost there!

For reference:

Factory cast cranks had the serrations to to run the factory rope seal.

Many aftermarket cranks DO NOT have the serrations, in that case, you would run the BOP neoprene lip seal.

Cranks with serrations can run either seal type.

Good luck!
