Wanted Interesting but damaged square taper cranks

[August Bicycles]

I’m after a pair of cranks for my e-cargo bike. Current ones are boring shimano jobbies. Being square taper, I assume that anything square taper should fit. Has anyone got anything laying around that is cool and interesting with perfect tapers but a cracked spider? Ebike cranks don’t have a spider, so it’s something that I could machine off on a regular crank set. Doesn’t matter if pedal threads are damaged, I can repair these too.

Thanks in advance!

Crank profile will alter how far the pedals are apart. But no worries on chainline of course.

The Q Factor of the crank arms on the bike currently are a joke anyway, The pedals are in different area codes!

There are ISO and JIS tapers,so not all the same.

I could do a set of just lx arms is it has a removable spider I have another plan for. Or xt arms as that was my plan.

Thanks for the offer, I have a few pairs of LX/XT/XTR in the workshop already, I was hoping to find something a little more exotic, like middleburn, tune, kooka, or something similar.

I was after something a little cheaper and nothing in mint condition, seems like sacrilege to butcher something in mint condition. I was hoping to repurpose something that was pretty much useless for any other use.
