Dear Tarik. Hello, the last time I saw anything like this was in the late eighties, and cotter pins were getting hard to find then. At some point the bottom bracket and axel will become pitted, have have to be replaced, and these have also disappeared many years ago. As much as you want to make this bike a period peace, at some point you will have to replace the cranks and BB with new stuff. Good luck with the rest of the project.
