. Here at Dale Manufacturing (Salem, Oregon) I have been involved with rebuilding Harmonic Balancers since 1979.
. Beginning with ' balancers for Chevrolet Corvair engines and later expanding to include other discontinued balancers, we have rebuilt approximately 8,000 harmonic balancers to date.
. I do all the work myself so there is a consistant level of quality and attention. (Oh all right, my wife works with me and does shipping, receiving,and painting, not to mention the paper work!) Over the years I have made improvements in rubber formulation, chemical bonding, and techniques so you can be assured of a top quality rebuild for your valuable car part.
. I now also add an internal electrical grounding spring inside the rubber for harmonic balancer rings that drive v-belts; this bleeds off static electricity which might otherwise cause radio static. (Ford products of some years included a somewhat more primative ground- actually a staple through the rubber strip which then touched the two metal parts, providing the electrical ground.)
. By rebuilding your harmonic balancer by hand, I believe you will get better quality and consistent results. (certain other rebuilders hire workers and may have mechanized parts of their rebuilding operations.)
. If you have specific questions, call me
