Yep I recently rewelded the outer cover back onto the end of the damper as it came off from vibration

I found the rattle [smilebigeye].
Its the harmonic balancer for the tailshaft?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

By damping harmonics, they being the frequency of vibration most likely to occur in the point where the balancer is.
Its like sticking your finger on a tuning fork, which is vibrating from a sound conducted there from a speaker etc.

Well, how about that:)
