    Try this pic for the X screw in tension...

    Right hand nut down tight.

    Left hand nut tensions the screw.

    Personally I'd put the pulley at the other end to reduce the overhang.

    I should have drawn the handle fitting bigger than the nut. That way you can put the handle on and off without removing the nut.

    Edit: I should also have put the Belleville washers on the other side of the pulley so the pulley grub screw doesn't have to slide. I can redraw it if you want.
