That's an operation that you don't want to screw up! I don't imagine
that there's any way to fix a mis-aligned web.


Since they were using a vertical shaper on the bores of the
crank webs, is it possible that they were splined so you could not get
them a little out of line? (Though the ends of the crank pins in the
photos did not obviously show signs of splining.) It could still be a
key on the side not visible to prevent misalignment.

Enjoy,
DoN.
