I would suggest a 12 or 14 gauge piece of metal on the inside and bolts... especially if you can put the metal where its out of site.... pull off the pulley and transfer the location of the bolts to the new back up material.... 12 gauge is just a little less than 1/8" with 14 gauge a little thinner... either would work in my opinion and anything thicker would be overkill... this would allow you sandwich the wall between the brackets.... a much superior repair..
