I have fitted about 30 of these to my engines and had an early failure with the rubber bonding but made a modification and have had no other fail.
I guess what im saying is I can supply them to you but cant guarantee the result you will get. perhaps when a few more are fitted and reports come in we will get a better idea of success/failure!
I can supply them for $300 US including postage to most countries.

Hey Murray,
WELCOME aboard !
One question....is the 'rubber' material that you are now using in latest models...vulcanized in between center and outer ring or pressed together ?
