Or buy a classic Mini Cooper S 2-part crank damper and just keep replacing
the rubber bit.

David,
No question - I would replace it. I have new ones in stock for
$105.20. Using the USPS Priority mail I can get one across the country in
no
time for $11.50. I am not a fan of using used ones with crusty rubber.
They
can come unbonded and create multiple problems.

Subject: [Spridgets] harmonic balancer
Hi all,
I found an old 1275
that was rebuilt about 25 years ago and never run. I
have disassembled it and
am cleaning it up (sandblasting and powder coating
parts) and ran into a
problem with the harmonic balancer. It seems there is
a rubber insert that is
kind of flaky - small chunks are missing from the
surface. Is the rubber
insert a replaceable part? Will it stand up to 450
degrees in the toaster
oven. Should I bite the bullet and look for a
rebuild. I'm kind of concerned
the missing chunks will throw it off balance.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
