Hmmm, got here quicker than expected. The box this stuff came in was wet on the bottom and looked like it was thrashed. Fortunately, everything in the box looks to be OK. Only need to do some clean up.
Molnar Crank. I guess it is lighter weight, but kind of hard to tell without weighing the two.
Molnar 750 Barrels. Nice and very light weight, but come with a nasty gotcha. The sleeve nuts for the 3 studs in the head and pockets for the nuts in the fin areas are the spawn of the devil. Not a clue how I'm going to torque them up or if I can even get them started on the studs. I'll be grinding tools down to get them in there and have to use spacers to hold the head up so I can get the nuts started.
I prefer easy. The old iron barrels are easy. Nothing good comes easy. I shall see if that is true.
I'll be busy next week.
