Triumph TR3 - tr engine hand crank

i have two triumph engine hand cranks.
crank #1.
there is a bevel edge on the tip of the crank where
it fits into the fan bolt.
the length of the crank from the tip of crank to the
90 degree bend is 18".
from the tip of the crank to the crank guide is 7 1/2".
crank #2.
there is no bevel edge on the tip of the crank where
it fits into the fan bolt.
the length of the crank from the tip of crank to the
90 degree is 17".
from the tip of the crank to the crank guide is 8".

moss motors catalog shows three types of cranks.
type 1. tr2-3 to ts22013
type 2. tr3a-3b
type 3.tr4

i would like to know what tr are my cranks for.

thanks

Hi Payne:
I have a '58 TR3A and the crank that suits it matches the dimensions of your #1 crank.So you must have item #389-040 for TR3A-3B in the Moss catalogue.

chuck,
thanks for your help.
crank#1 fits my '59tr3a better than crank#2.
i guess crank #2 is for a tr2 or a early tr4.
