Interesting. I mounted as stepper in such a way as to be on a plate
that had curved slots in it and used a 1/4 inch bolt as the hinge.

If you are doing this on a rotary you are fine. But if you are doing
it by hand, those lines will look awfully out of alignment.

From some printers I have idlers on bearings on a single plate, not a
square. Two holes, one slotted the other as the hinge.

I didn't see a post indicating the belt size you were looking for ?
