Coolio's ...

Is it Ok to attach alloy chainrings to steel cranks? or better to stick with steel and steel?

Is a TDC # 2 for cottered cranks the right width for a single chainring application?

I'm not very good with Imperial measurements as I grew up with metric. What were the most common hub axles thicknesses for this era?

Lastly, I've read of seat pins with numbered sizes (ie #2, #3 etc etc) what do these correspond to?

thanks
