Rich there is a kit that allows you to remove the fan and hub and secure
the balancer . The kit has a pinned washer and shorter blot. T he supplier
was posted buy a list member about a year ago It may have come from
Cambridgesport Its quit a wheight reduction >>> In my case I just had the
hub that holds the fan turned down to just the size of the shaft and used
the stock bolt.There was some wght reduction but not as much as the kit
offered. It worked out well because on the end closest to the balancer I had
turned and made flat to make a base for a trigger wheel for the crank ing .
Anyway perhaps some will again gives us the supplier of the fan elimination
kit. rob
