I did not modify the stock carrier, I fabricated a new carrier out of 3/4" flat stock, a piece of round bar and material for a small gusset.
After cutting the basic shape using a bandsaw and drill press the round bar and gusset were welded to it and then normalized.
Then it went to a machinist to bore the press fit hole for the pulley shaft.
