WH Explorer 5.0 Saginaw/Delphi pump bracket swap

[PaveBronco]

Anyone installed the explorer 5.0 Saginaw/Delphi pump bracket swap to allow the serpentine belt to be used with a Saginaw pump. I’m scratching my head on the idler pulley install. I’ve got the triangular bracket that attaches to the water pump but for the install of the idler pulley I don’t see how it fits. The instructions say :
Now install the idler pulley onto the bracket. Use original washers and spacers. We provide a 10mm x 65 bolt, nut and lock washer.
Use the .875” spacer and thick washer between the stock idler pulley washer and the bracket. Apply Loktite to the nut.
But the pulley bearing diameter is larger than the supplied bolt and I didn’t have any original washers or spacers, on my original setup.
I’m throwing this out there because I’m old and slow and sure I’m missing something.

I just put this on and there is a plastic bushing that goes on the 10mm bolt that the bearing rides on. I think i got one at O'Reilly's. I could get a picture if you need

Thanks broncopilot, will check it out. My original setup had the pulley bolt as the same size as the bearing, then it necks down to the threads. The pulley bolt screwed into the mount.

This is what came on the 96 explorer set-up, I found a bushing that worked in my scrounge, so I’m good to go. I did have a slight setback when I went to bolt up my dual return pump to the bracket, the fact that there is only one bolt hole showing (short bolt to hold the res in place). But the other hole is there covered up, I just drilled the res to expose the other hole, added an O ring between the res and the pump, and trimed the lower return line, which is spot welded to the res case so some careful grinding was required. On the front side I had to shave a small amount from one of the bracket mount bolts, pic has washers but I removed them as they were touching the res body. Had to clearance the mount bracket to clear the top return line.
