Hi Manolo, look at the 5 buttons below RZ/RD 500 group logo on the upper left corner of the page. Click "members". Go to page 6. Look for "gus" . You can send a message from there. Good Luck.
Sincerely, Gary P.

been running gus's crankshafts in mine for about two years top quality and no problems great bloke to deal with you can trust him his cranks are just like the originals, and it will cost you as much to get your old ones rebuilt so I got his new ones and kept my old ones for spares
