[TR] harmonic balancer?

[Paul Dorsey]

Merry Christmas!

I am converting my TR3 to an electric fan.  I have removed the dog bolt and
fan extension and am wondering about a possible upgrade.  Several members have
written to say they installed a harmonic balancer (in place of their fan
extension?)
    Let me ask:  Just what is  a harmonic balancer?  Several years ago, I
instructed the engine shop to "balance" my motor during it's rebuild???   My
guess is that it counterbalances some sort of wobble and is a step beyond
'balancing an engine during rebuild.'  I am also guessing it can be added (to
the hub?) at a later time.
    For the current time, I think a big, heavy-duty, and exactly centered
washer will suffice.
Thanks,
