Today I started by milling down the middle of the underneath of the motor mount, to bring a bit more clearance for the belt.
I tried the large pulley on the spindle of my mill and found that the bore in the large pulley was ever-so-slightly too small, so I mounted the 4jaw and trued the pulley as best as I could and took off 0.22mm, checked it and it was ok. Then I filed the keyway a bit deeper, and then mounted it on the mill just as I did for milling the spindle-lock-slot and drilled and tapped M6 for the grubscrew.
I then mounted my vice onto the mill and set about drilling and tapping M4 the grubscrew on the small pulley.
And here are both pulleys (the smaller one is resting on the bottom of the larger one) showing the grub screws.
That's all for today,
Tim

Nice job Tim - did you get your grub screws online, I need to find a supplier. I normally get my machine screws locally but one thing they don`t seem to sell for some reason is grub screws.
Your certainly not far off now!
