I don't remember what mounted to the hole used to fasten the pulley but it was obviously free. The only thing you have to do is add washers to move the pulley away from the engine block and once tightened you have to make sure the pulley is straight.

*ALMOST* makes me regret throwing away ~2 dozen of those eccentric pulleys - haha. Great idea by the way.
