paul mac Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i'm sure i read the other day that Dude was balancing some parts for a customer at AFR, you could try Chris Wilson but as they're not gold plated diamond encrusted Carillo rods he probably wont touch them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I can recommend http://www.vibrationfree.co.uk/ I've been using them for over 10 years and they've yet to let me down. When it comes to balancing there isn't anything this guy doesn't know or can't do. I know that the guy who runs the place, Steve, is at Spa at the moment, I think he gets back on Tuesday. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I can do them, or pretty much any race engine shop can. 3 grammes is a lot to lose though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absz Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 will pop them down to dude to have them done:) just looking for a replacement flywheel as my dual mass has excessive endfloat and side to side movement will have it all balanced at the same time.

legendswraith Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Was wondering what was wrong with grinding the pads and measuring around the centre points of the bearing ends. Did you think i meant grind randomly till they all weighed roughly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think i meant grind randomly till they all weighed roughly the same Its not a case of getting the rods to weigh the same dude, that doesn't mean they are balanced!!!!!

We can get some lovely flywheels dude, around £290 ish depending on the rate that day. Will put a pic up when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendswraith Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yes i know both ends etc need to be within grammes of each other as well as the whole assembly and each other. Probably didn't give the best description and relied on the link too much. We balance the assemblies in gas turbines alot finer than con rods He's bringing them to you anyhow so its a null point, and you have the gear.
