Look a bit like CW cranks, when they get here check if the spindle is 1/2", if they are then you probably have CW cranks :daumenhoch:

Boss ????
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Fab weld were squished at one end. Boss were finished neatly at both ends.

Boss used the larger spine for a while (not the same as redline 401 spine).

Boss made the first S&M PA cranks. They used the same, big spine spindle but pierced the join at the pedal end. S&M did this cos the Boss crannks always broke at the pedal end. All the S&M cranks broke at the BB end!  :crazy2:
