B.80 CRANKSHAFT DAMPER. In reply to your Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/ML.29.10.40. There is no room to increase the inertia of our crankshaft damper flywheel. We could increase it by only 8% by asking for a modification to the pressing of the front suspension pan.which is hardly work while doing. A larger flywheel either in width or diameter will mean a Drastic alteration to the front of the chassis. Jnr.{Charles L.
