- Well, I've been running without the fan and hub extension for over 10 years, no broken cranks yet ! IMO, while there is some truth in Bill's warning, it's primarily for race engines that see a lot o

- I'm probably being dumb, but if you going to use an electric fan and remove the mechanical fan, wouldn't leaving the fan extension on serve as harmonic balancer? John, '71 TR6 Berkeley Springs, WV

- You say you've been running without the fan and hub extension for over 10 years. What are you using instead? Similar to Bill's post, my '59 TR3 project came with no balancing piece for the face of t

- Yes Ken Galanders at British Frame & engine carrys them in the States. It replaces the crank pully and fan assembly. It somes with an aluminum alloy water pump pully and you need to source a generat

- Umm just remember that each crank has it's own harmonic characteristics and each harmonic dampener is designed for specific crank harmonic characteristics. You want the a dampener that came off a cr

- Early in my Triumph adventures, I ruined a fan, and solved the problem by just removing the fan and driving without it. Worked OK, as long as I wasn't in stop and go traffic (which was rare where I
