wanted W-31 Balancer 1970

I have been tasked by a good friend to find and purchase a 1970 W-31 balancer. Condition is not really an issue as long as the balancer is serviceable.
I ask my friend if a dick Miller reproduction balancer would work and he declined.
Please email photos and price to: psigmund@wi.rr.com

There was a w31 that just sold out of Minnesota. The seller said he has the correct balancer. Your friend should call him

If I was looking at a pile of balancers, how would I be able to distinguish the one you are looking for?

I don't know the exact measurements but they are about twice as thick as a regular balancer.

Serviceable= needing rebuilding such as replacing the rubber between the 2 pieces of the balancer. Not hammered to death and cosmetically looks good.

I did talk to BOB
He has the w31 harmonic
His factory balancer has a problem with the hub
price will reflect the condition of this rare factory part
I did try to send you a P Message with his phone number
All the best

This is not for John. There are other people looking for a balancer.
