Can i take the stock balancer and cut the hub to make a crank spacer. Has anybody had this problem. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

I asked if i could cut the old balancer and do like i suggest and he said no but that he would also be happy to sell me the spacers that they offer. ATI tech support sounds more like sales guy.

The ones we got from you are aprox..095 thick,the .200 came from Keith Black long ago. Last edited by B G Racing; 04/20/09 08:36 PM.
