Is the pulley on the side for vertical aiming? Also, How thick are your blue plates, and what tap size did you use to secure the pulley plates? Do you see any potential problems with drilled out holes that are almost as big as the thickness? I've never done something like that, so I'm just curious.

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.
