Pardon my ignorance, but I have a question. Do the eliminated parts contribute
in any way to balancing or dampening vibrations on the crankshaft? I've never
been sure whether or not it is just the crank pulley alone, or the pulley plus
heavy fan extension that were to act as the harmonic balancer. I've read that
the TR6 crankshaft is in need of balancing due to rather rough manufacturing
techniques.

Randall,
The kit is designed to eliminate the fan and fan extension when converting
to an electric fan.
After removal of the fan extension it will just slip onto the six bolts that
are already in place. No alterations to your car are required. The acorn
nuts, lock washers, and flat washers are all stainless steel. The new center
bolt is a grade 8 which is really overkill but a lot of Triumph owners
insist.
The kit includes the CNC billet aluminum hub, stainless acorn nuts and
washers, and grade 8 crank bolt with washers. Cost of the kit is $45 plus
shipping of $8 within the US.
