Try www.damperdoctor.com I know, the name sounds pretty cheesy. But I had a telephone conversation with the fellow and I subsequently had my damper rebuilt by him for my truck engine. It was very nice in terms of appearance and has done well for 3 years and counting... You WILL have to find TDC on your own after a rebuild in all likelihood, but I am sure that someone can give advice on that as well....
