Thank you Dave,
I checked this again and also checked all parts catalogues availible and found
out this:
There are 2 types of TR 6 crankshafts and 2 types of flywheels. Early
crankshafts and flywheels up to CC/CP 50000 and late crankshafts and flywheels
from CC/CP 50001 onwards. Early crankshafts are "long" and late crankshafts are
"short". The crankshafts are interchangeable between early and late models
providing that the corresponding flywheel is also fitted. Early crankshafts
have
a long rear extension, and the flywheel is recessed. Late crankshafts have a
shorter rear extension using a non recessed flywheel.
