Advice on sleeve needed

Hello I am installing a reco motor in the old XF Falcon... I just noticed the front pulley has a scored journal where the timing case seal runs on it . Thankfully the pulley fits in the Bernerd 4 jaw chuck . So I will turn down the scored area and press on a sleeve . It's 1 and 3/4" diameter. Can I use bright mild steel for the sleeve as its all I have here ? It's a rubber/neoprene seal . Mike
