When I installed my fluid damper I had to redo the magnets. I bought some 3/8 round rare earth magnets...10 off e-bay for cheap....then cleaned and epoxied them to the new balancer. Then I had to modify the pick-up location for the bigger diameter damper.

Was into it for under $15. Much less then a "new" magnet kit from Isspro..or whom ever..at $50+.

Here's what my bracket re-location looked like.

used an old sink faucet retainer bracket. Been on there over a year with no problems.
