Hi Simon,
All 3000's have one as standard. But yours is   now over 50 years old.....
The rubber eventually delaminates, and the standard 50 year old one wasn't a=
 particularly good design.=20
I've had this pro race one on my engine for the past 20 years

Denis Welch sells this exact one as his road spec one.=20

On an aftermarket steel crank you need a better one, but this one  is fine u=
p to 6,000 rpm

The reason you have one is:
