No problem, I found a bunch of information in the archives. Thanks, Terry

Yes,

Glazier's Mustang Barn gets them done all the time, they come back like new, as long as the metal is not damaged.

Re: Yes,

There are a handful of them out there (companies). Do you know which outfit they use? It seems the process is different than original. I believe the original process used pressing the two pieces together with a piece of rubber. The new process I believe uses a type of black liquid silicone that sounds to exceed the original method with regard to performance. Thanks, Terry

Had mine done by a company called Damper Dudes. Saw an article on them in a magazine and found them in Hemmings. Looked new when I got it back and it has been fine for several years.

I think I will contact them on Monday and see what they can doo for me. My balancer is dated and I would like to keep it with the engine. Terry

As I recall,

the service they use vulcanizes new rubber in the balancer, not a liquid silicone treatment. No website, as it is an industrial service. I'll try to check tomorrow.

I had mine done by Damper Doctor in California.
