Harmonic Balancer

Anybody ever heard of these guys--MDB? or had any experiance with this brand?

That just seems too cheap for a quality fluid dampner/balancer, but then again that is the starting bid price! Although I have not called tham yet, they seem to be a new company, just getting started.

It says they are SFI certified!

??????????????????????????????

ANYBODY?



I went to their web site

http://www.mdbextreme.com/default.asp

and the balancer in question lists for 135.00 I think it was. If this is in deed a new company, making a good quality product, I would hate to pass it up just for this reason. I wish I could find out more about them and the product!!! After all, ATI, TCI, Fluidampr all had to start somewhere, and somebody had to be one of their first customers! I just don't want to be a test pilot and find out later that something was not right with the product at the expense of my 350!

On mine. I had to machine the hub down .092 to line up perfectly (cuz I run a serpentine setup). Otherwise I think it works great.

Originally I thought it was made by cat power engine products, but looking at the pic you sent over it's not.

Here is the one I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=46098
