    I had a look at my spare harmonic balancer and there is no rubber where you have made up. I do not believe that there ever was any rubber where you made up. The most likely cause of your rattle was like on mine - the three bolts that hold the balance ring on were a bit loose. Once tightened up the noise went away.

    There was never any rubber in the place I put mine.
    My 3 bolts were tight - the original rubber piece in the balancer is bonded between the inner metal part and the outer metal part. When my alternator seized it put so much pressure on the rubber to metal interface it sheared the bonding where the rubber was bonded to the outer metal part. Once the bonding comes loose it allows the outer metal part to rotate nearly a third of a turn - this is what causes the clacking noise. When mine went I removed the weight and it was clearly visible that the bonding had failed - I could turn the pulley almost a third of a turn - the only thing stopping it from turning any further was the 3 metal lugs with the threaded holes were banging against the metal "spokes" that go from the outer ring to the inner front ring.

    Since the original rubber to metal surfaces are perfectly round - I didn't bother to try to reglue them as I don't think superglue would be up to the task. That is why I used shaped rubber - the shape locks the 2 halves together and prevents any movement. When installing my rubber parts I found that the angle they are installed at allows you to minimise any wobble of the pulley as it rotates. So I patiently adjusted the angle of each part while rotating the crank with a socket to minimise the wobble -and the superglue only stops the angle from changing.
