Abstract
An engine damper includes a drive disc having a plurality of studs circumferentially arranged to be received in a flex plate and a driven disc connected to the drive disc by a resilient member. The driven disc defines a plurality of circumferentially arranged first holes arranged in a first pattern. A hub is configured to non-rotatably connect to a shaft. The hub defines a plurality of second holes circumferentially arranged in a second pattern that corresponds to the first pattern. Connectors are disposed in the first and second holes to connect the hub to the driven disc.
