Thanks cyclotoine. I would be willing to pay for the shipping if you can find them. I like playing around

What are they made of by the way? I suppose it's not aluminum. Chromed steel?

I have broken a TA ND crank and my girlfriend cracked a ND stronglight 49D, I would guess there is a fair number of ND TA cranks out there that are cracked and could be used for the experiment, although they should come off easier because they are cracked. I think I have a TA dustcap I could send to the OP for shipping for the experiment, but I might have thrown it away. It had been slotted because the hex fitting was so buggered. I am willing to bet there are more than a couple out there like that.
