Has anyone used a gilmer drive for the water pump on this engine? If so, what did you use?

Clearance between the chassis and the nose of the standard (short) pump pulley are creating the question. I believe a gilmer drive will allow me to avoid having to modify the chassis crossmember between the shock pickups.

The pulley shown below will fit the shaft and allow clearance for the belt to slip between the chasis crossmember and the pulley, but if someone has already done this, then I'm not afraid to borrow someone else's success and it will save me from trying to figure out a crank drive pulley & belt.

Thanks
John
