I'm trying to source some new big end shells for the rebuild of my FRP and they are proving tricky to get hold of. The diameter of the crank is the slightly larger 42mm, 40's are easy to get hold of, even Ford don't sell them separately.
I've tried Pumabuild/speed and Burton power but none sell them. Does anyone know where I can get hold of any?

I can't take any credit for this, or say whether it works or not, but the following is from investigation that another user on a different forum found out:
"Mitsubishi G13 (G15 engine) at 15.9 mm width. They are nominally 42/45 mm and fit in nicely. The only difference is the location lug; on mitsubishi bearings it is on the right, originals have them on left"
Apparently a tiny amount of filing makes them fit
