Amici,
I learned this weekend that ATI do have drawings for TR cranks. I watched
one be installed on a TR2 crank nose - damn, it's a tight fit!
ATI are like Fluid-Damper, and make ultra-high quality stuff. As y'all
know,
I've been after a good damper for a long time, and now I've found a source.
(I have no association with ATI, blah, blah, blah).
ATI's drawings use a small V-grooved pulley, just right for a dedicated
track car, but too tiny for those of us who drive our car to/from events
and need to support other systems for extended time periods. I don't
think it would be too much hard work for ATI to increase the size of the
pulley.
At $525, it's not cheap, but talk to any decent V8 builder; the damper is
among the most expensive single component that goes into their motors.
Given Triumph's wet noodle of a crank, it may be a good investment.
