What tools does your team have access to? In particular, do you have access to a lathe, a drill press or mill and a set of straight reamers (including most importantly the one the size of the van door motor shaft—I think it's either 8 mm or 10 mm on the Tiagene van door motors)?

If you have some or all of those things, bore the pulley to the correct inside diameter, and then temporarily secure it to the shaft axially (e.g. with split shaft collars on either side). Then put a small hole through both, and insert a hardened steel pin (either a dowel or a spring pin). It's generally better than a set screw for reliability.
