I agree. THE DUDES ABIDE!


"FREE SAMPLE"

My damper goes in the mail tomorrow morning to Winslow Mfg. Co, located in Wendell N.C.  I had a phone conversation with the owner and I liked what he told me.  They have been in business many many years rebuilding vintage car dampers.  Great price and turn around is quick.  I had a good comfortable feeling talking to the owner. I'll let you know when it returns. 

Looks like the Power Bond dampers are available again. I remember good things said about them on this site but no personal experience with this product. Summit racing...................

I was having quality issues with the last few dampers I had rebuilt by Damper Doctor.  Possible causes could be Damper Doctor just got too big and too many employees? I’ve since switched to Damper Dudes and pleased with both their work and turn-around times so far.

Used Damper Doc for my Bird.  Everything seems to be ok

I have used the Damper Doctor a number of times over the years.  They always did a good job at a reasonable price. I haven't used them in a while.

Has anybody used either or both of these rebuilders? If so, please comment on your results. I'm planning to have one rebuilt and would like to have references to go by. Also maybe Damper Doc and Damper Dude comments. Thanks! As always, good advice is much appreciated!

I have found 2 places that rebuild 292 Damper/Balancers.  Dale manufacturing in Oregon and Winslow manufacturing in Wendell North Carolina. FWIW.

I didn't have a line,  just a very small "V" notched into the first pulley closest to the damper ring.  I'll have to recheck it after I reinstall it. I'll have to figure out how to establish 6 degrees before TDC.

I have the same damper as you do in my 1955 Thunderbird.  I couldn't find any other marks on my damper either, even after media blasting.  I only have one small line marking TDC.
