Retro BB identification
I can't post pictures as I don't have 10 posts yet. I'm trying to identify a BB on a retro (1980's ?) Rotary bike. The drive side has what looks like a big washer, about 35mm across, with two flats.
The non-drive side has a 24mm nut, and a lockring with 4 equally space notches.
If I can identify it I can get the removal tool, or work out what I need to remove it...

I use a 12" adjustable wrench for my BB's that have 35mm fixed cups. My Diamond Tool wrench opens to exactly 35mm

For the lockring, this is a little more expensive than a Park Spanner but is much more versatile and easier to use.
