There is a seller on ebay selling a reproduction of the hipo balancer that is weighted for use in non-hipo applications. As stated above, if you use the extra counter weight "hatchet" you must use the narrower sprockets and chain. You can run the hipo balancer with or without the narrower timing chain assembly and "hatchet" counter weight. The balance between a standard non-hipo balancer and a original hipo balancer are not the same.
The rotating assembly in my engine uses a C30E fully degreed balancer with a standard (modern) double roller timing chain assembly and an "XE" Indy quad cam crankshaft.
