Does anyone know where I can get a pully spacer to put behind the crank pulley to line it up, or do I have to fab one? Can I use washers instead?
Can I fab one from aluminum?
Thanx any help would be appreciated

Washers won't support the pulley well enough to prevent wobble.

I turn mine out on a lathe, so they're pretty close to round. I doubt if a +/- 1/16" or more would cause problems.
