Very odd - almost implies the big end axle is too short. Hmm: there are spacer washers in there. Do you know who built the crank?

Unfortunately I have no information on wether the crank has had a rebuild or not, but the old beast doesn't look like it has had loads of money spent on it. I may have to wait until further lockdown easing so more experienced eyes than mine can have a look.
