here's what I did:
put my stock Balancer on the Lathe and turned off the part thats between the 6 and the 4 Rib grooves then turned in 4 more grooves for the 8-Rib belt, this brings the SC (reverse rotation) closer to the Motor.

Cool, so you're using the A/C belt part of the dampener widened to 8 ribs ?

any chance you would be willing to do this to make a 12 rib setup?

What are you going to do about the rubber dampner?

juiced: if you wanna go with a 12rib belt you have to turn off the 6rib section and bring it down to the same dia. of the 4rib section cause its not wide enough for 12ribs, that means you won't have a 6rib belt any more, you have to change all your accessories pulleys to 12rib, but I think you've had that on your mind before. I would gladly do it for you, problem is I'm located in Germany so shipping would be too expensive unless you have a buddy in Germany with an Army APO address.

Slowhawk: what should I do about the rubber damper? I think there's no need to do anything, I didn't go deeper than the original grooves so the rubber isn't damaged or anything

If you are ussing a decent blower I'd worry about the outer ring walking over the rubber.It just looks so nice it would suck to fall off.Maybe weld tabs to keep it from happening?Then it would have to be balanced again?

I think the balancer elastermer will rip under hard load.
