[Spridgets] harmonic balancer

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.

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
