Counter Balanced weights
Where can a person purchase counter balanced weights to be placed on a stock Model A Ford crankshaft? I could appreciate a vendor name, with phone number or email address, that sells these weights.
Thank you, Mike |

Re: Counter Balanced weights
Mike, sorry for sending two replies. But I know Burlington Crankshaft is making a brand new crankshaft that looks just like the balanced "B" crank. It's a little pricey, but new. Burlington Crankshaft, P.O. Box 521, Collinsville, CT 06022.
I couldn't see their email, but you can Google them on the net. MrBruce |

Re: Counter Balanced weights
See post #2.
NO welding involved with installing Dan's weights and they will add the maximum amount of weight that can be added to a stock crank. |

Re: Counter Balanced weights
Dan Price's press on weights are really nice, they are like the so-called BB style, the early B factory modified cranks, but they do need machining of the crank to fit. They do not just "press on." Not a job for amateurs. My crank with those weights weighs 53 lbs. You should have a lightened flywheel with it. But man, it is a smooth combo. Not as good as a modern 4 banger with a specially designed balance crank, don't expect that much, but nice.

Re: Counter Balanced weights
If you going to fit Dan s weights sweat them on instead of pressing
and pin them also |

Re: Counter Balanced weights
Although I have a very efficient method of removing counterweight pins, installing pins it is the LAST thing you want to do. DO NOT use pins. Use socket head set screws in a counterbored hole.. You may want to take the weights off some day to grind the crank and Joe Average crank grinder will not know how to do it without drilling..Bad scene.
