Fellow Minioids,  I'm in the process of rebuilding my 1968 1275 S street motor.  Question:  I have a new lightened flywheel, lightened pressure plate, clutch disk and diaphram.  Should I have these rotationally balanced?  Since they are already lightened, it seems that it may be  less important to balance them then if they were at full weight.  Am I incorrect in my reasoning?  The next issue is finding a machine shop that can even perform this task.  Also, should I replace my front damper, which appears to be fine?
