Good Afternoon all,
Well I guess that we have the final answer about the connecting rod for the 1956 Super Meteor. Here is the last note from Allan at Hitchcock's. Thanks for all of your suggestions.
Roger,
41719 and 41720 are the same rod, I note that you already have 41720 which fits your crank. These are the best of the Enfield twin rods and would be good to use if you can. I would look at seeing if you could modify the crankcase to give clearance for the bolts or possibly machine the rods to allow the bolts to sit further down.
This is not something I have tried to do before, but I am guessing that there not much extra room would be needed.
Regards, Allan
