3.0 Crankshaft

I am rebuilding a 3.0 SDV6 engine at work and have just found out the crank has a hairline crack.

Does anybody know where I can get a crank? I will be purchasing it through work so it will need to come from a company no a private individual.

I wouldn't risk buying anything of this nature on eBay.

Thank you fir your replies.

I dont want anything from ebay many are Apex cranks and doing a bit of research brings up a whole number of failures
There is a genuine one on there but its been ground by 1mm which is more than recomended and they dont make 1mm oversize bearings.

They have both mentioned in the social media threads that they only fit genuine cranks.

The Ford engine plant is at Dagenhamin the UK - so not sure why the crankshaft would come from abroad if it was genuine.
