IML: crankshaft pulley repair

[<barrypk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone had experience repairing a ripped out rear crankshaft pulley? My 
63 Southampton exoerienced a failure of the rubber mounting ring inside the 
a/c-alternator double pulley.  I sent away to Bob Hofmeister for a used 
pulley, but found that the holes for mounting it on the harmonic balancer did 
not line up.  

A couple of questions:  Why are the mounting holes unequally spaced? Is that 
a way to balance the pulley with the harmonic balancer?  Is it true, as 
Kenyon may have intimated, that the pulleys are mated to the balancer as a 
pair?

Damper Doctor says they can revulcanize my pulley, but if they do, will it be 
in balance?  Since the old rear double-pulley is broken off the shaft of the 
double front pulley, it may not be possible to revulcanize it in exactly the 
same position on the shaft. Is that a problem?

Has anyone any exoerience with Damper Doctor's work on this type pulley?  I 
have concerns about sending away the only pulley that seems mated to my 
engine.

Thanks,
Barry
