John,
Thanks - as I figured, this is a simple but effective damper. I would suggest to you it came out of something else. The one from my bike has 6 or 8 rubbers (can't remember which) but is a nicely made unit and I might order one to se how it would work for my PSRU - it is also very compact.
How many rubbers does your have John?
I personally don't think you will have any problems with it - I'm sure Matcotte considered any thrust and made allowances for it. His designs have always attracted high praise for the engineering.

George, there is nothing holding the disc's together.  The Pins are secured with cap screws on the disc bolted to the E-shaft and enter into the bushings in the driven disc, which is secured to the redrive gear box, so when the redrive is bolted to the engine, that is the only thing that holds the disc's in position.  JohnD
