C3 pulley came apart

Hey guys had anyone had an issue with the C3 pulleys coming apart? Mine broke where the straps hold on the backplate to the pulley. Does anyone have suggestions on fixing it?

Sorry I dont have pics right now since I took it to a machine shop to assess the damage...but all that snapped was the small "dog bone" looking band that is held on by rivets between the pulley itself and the clutch plate.

Here is the pic of the pulley...let me know what you guys think. As you can see one of the other rivets is also chipped.

Do you know where it was done at? I'd like to keep the code 3 if it's salvageable.

some lost thread were a avaiation mechanic did the repair himself using aircraft quality rivets. i dont think he had broken starps. those will have to be custom made. the oem would hold you over until the e/c units are made

Got my pulley fixed by a fellow member(newbenz2) and i'm very pleased with the results and the cost or lack thereof. He was very helpful and after going to every local machine shop he was the only one willing to take on the project. I've had it on for over a week now and works just like new. So anyone interested in buying anything from him he is recommended and with top notch craftsmanship. By the way I met him by buying parts from him in the classified section. This forum and its members have always been helpful and by us continuing to be this way we can keep costs down
for all of us. Thanks again to newbenz2!
