X Axis motor and belt adjustment query

Hi 

I have built my Mk3s and could not get the motor pulley/belt to run without the belt scraping on the orange housing. The gap between the pulley and motor is <0.5mm.

Even if the pulley touches the motor the belt still hits the plastic. I have resorted to fitting washers to move the motor back.  Anybody else had to do this?                                                                                        View of beltView of spacers

Best Answer by Neophyl:

You have the pulley on back to front.  The 'thin'  rim section should be towards the motor.
