I didn't trust the restaking....didn't look like it would holdup very long.
I found this fix at HTT.
I drilled right in the gap where the ring meets the pulley.
There were eight locations....Tapped the holes, installed button head hex dive screws, 3/4 inch long 10-24 threads.
I will use red loctite on them.

All overkill...The belt walks to the outside of the pulley, ( by design,) and never puts pressure on that cheap inner ring when moving forward.
It's there only for backing up, where the belt will naturally walk itself in the opposite direction. ( You could actually run a belt without the inner ring as long as you didn't back up too much...)

I'm sure dealers probably do have them in stock, the one I ordered from did. What's your point?

The ring and the pulley are not the same material. Kinda hard to tack/spot weld dissimilar metals.

They do make welding rod for dissimilar metal, its been 20 years since I had a welding class, so maybe not in this case?
