Is there anything online about performing this trick properly? I'm intrigued and my buddy will probably help me do the re-drill. What type of epoxy?
Also, when you say "new", should I buy a new balancer or a used one?

Buy a good balancer, new or used probably doesn't matter. I've heard of Miatas going years with this type of repair.
I'd probably use a slow-hardening (stronger) JB-Weld type epoxy to repair the holes and Loctite 242 or 243 (as recommended for the Miata repair) on the bolt threads holding the balancer on and between metal surfaces.
