There's a repair sleeve available. Do you need the whole balancer. If so you'll probably have to find a used one. New ones aren't available to my knowledge.
Scott, here are the parts houses that I know of that have 1955-1957 Tbird parts. CASCO is probably the best known. Maybe they might have what you are looking for.

Thanks Ray and John. You guys are great. My mechanic Peter Leddy said the one on my '57 "needed to be welded or replaced". He said they were expensive. So naturally I went searching all the sources I could find. Nothing. He didn't say where he could find one.
Scott, if Peter or someone on here can give you the '57 Part # for this harmonic balancer, then you might be able to find it at one of these Obsolete Parts companies. You are probably going to have to provide them with the Part #, because it has been my experience that is what they look it up by on their computer systems. Here is what I have culled out of the Advertisements Forum that you might want to check out...

Wow! Thanks for the telephone call to alert me of more firms that you posted that have '55-'57 parts. Now I shouldn't have trouble finding parts for my car.
Scott, I did some research on the part # for the 1957 harmonic balancer. Apparently, the 1955 1956 1957 Thunderbird Harmonic Balancer are the same part #, B5SZ-6312-A. There is one for sale on feeBay, new, NOS, but it is expensive. I will email you the link to it.
There is a company called the Damper Doctor. he rebuilds dampers. he might have one in stock. Make sure your have a line of credit on your house though!!!!
Scott found his harmonic balancer through Peter who is working on his Tbird. I gather he already has it on his car now. If any of you should come up with the source for one though, please post it in case other Little Bird owners might need one. Thanks!
