The simplest way to get a double groove damper on an early stovebolt engine is to modify a 230/250 balancer so the belts line up. Those balancers are available everywhere for less than $100.00 each. The snout MUST be machined to match the stovebolt hub dimensions. That's probably what the D/D "economy" balancer is. They're still committing highway robbery with that one!

Yes, Highway Robbery for someone who can do machining? I cannot.
But, I doubt that I could find a machinist that would do it for $100
(plus $100 for the core that is available anywhere - please post a link)?
What would be a fair price for the machining?
Plus:
- shipping of the core to the machinist (if the machinist is not local)
- shipping the finished pulley back to me (if the machinist is not local)
Thanks for the info.
