I had picked up a piece of steel plate to use and found the threads in the adjacent piece that I will be attaching to is a different size(smaller) and is not parallel with face of new pulley. I need to hit a proper hardware store to find a nice barrel spacer to make up the difference. I just thought that since the DIY has been out there for awhile that someone had already mocked up a proper support bracket, that others could use

Sorry to be off topic, this will be great when I trade up from the Code3 to a crank pulley. Thanks for the R&D.
Why would you want to even do the DIY belt wrap? You're not getting away from the small diameter pulleys and it's spinning them at ridiculous speeds. That and you're running the flat side of the belt on a ribbed pulley. Sounds like an even worse disaster waiting to happen than just the stock setup. His kit may not be cheap but it'll be the cheapest insurance policy you'll buy against messing up your water pump, oil cooler or anything else on the front of the engine.
I know I'm in for one.
