Part alignment using width mate

Hi,
I'm using the new width mate to centralise a pully in a holder as below:
After having setup the width mate what is the correct way to then align the pulley holes?
Or should I just use a fasten mate with an offset?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

A cylindrical mate should do it (or a slider if you don't want it to spin).

In case you wanted to go for efficiency…A single revolute mate would apply well in this situation. no need for both a width and cylindrical mates.

Thanks Eric, the cylindrical mate works well.

Thank you - yes that also works well.
