Yes, the pulleys on the sides are for tilting the shooter.

The plates are 1/4" thick. I am going to tap for 10-24 bolts which require a hole of .1495. A 10-24 screw is .190" in diameter. So, it does leave a decent amount of space left. Thinking of the failure mode I have a hard time seeing them fail but again I can not be 100% sure unless I tested it.
