This is a one-piece (not swaged) crank; not sure if it is forged or cast, but either way a step up from the failed swaged crank.
Appreciated. I had a couple of spares that fit perfectly.

Cheers, mate.
That being said- I ran into a guy whose crank bolt had come off (inside the dust cap)- and his cranks were both at 6:00 (and falling off).

Got his dust cap off, reseated the arm, got the bolt in as tight as it was going to go.
