Motor mounted in place.
The belt tension can be adjusted by rotating the motor in holder, which can then be tightened by side screw.
I have to shorten the clutch screw a bit, to prevent the clash with small timing pulley (on the motor shaft).
Now, waiting for ULN2803 to arrive from AliExpress, and first phase of the project is done.
The next stage will be adding the DEC motor (both on mount and in the code).
NB:
I could have used NEMA17 thin stepper motor (400 s/r), height would be same/similar, but it would be more complicated to adjust the belt tension.. and resolution would be 5x worse so I decided not to go this way.
