Then I could just trim the marked part off.
Test fit with the aluminum. No key at this point.
It took a puller to get it off. I knew I was shimmed correctly because the inside of the pulley was flush with the shoulder on the crankshaft.
The brass came in different thicknesses. I measured it at .0025, same as the can. Again I traced it and trimmed as needed. This time I made room for the key. It went on relatively easy, the shims didn’t need anything to slide on and stay where they needed.
The old key was buggered a bit but since my package from Old Britts showed up today with a new key I was golden. The new key fit much better. Without tightening it down it was much tighter. Just the tiniest little movement. I reassembled and will try it out tomorrow. I don’t expect any issues.
Thanks for all the suggestions and the banter.
One less thing to worry about.
good photos too!
