I hate to give away all our secrets ... but yes. We went with black acetal idler pulleys from SDP/SI (A 6M 9-03110). All we had to do was drill the centers out to 0.375 and put keyways in the ones we want driven (provided the torque isn't too high). Combine with keyed shaft or steel tube and you are set!
