Can someone tell me if the nut that holds the white wheel on should be tightened down fully? So not loose?

There's a bushing under the nut that should keep the pulley from getting pinched even when you tighten the nut all the way.

Tighten it.

Loose enough that it spins freely. It's a self locking nut so loose is OK

it should spin freely but NOT wobble. Also, it looks like you are missing the sperm washer/clamp that holds the clutch cable in.

Thanks all. This is not my car - just a photo

Still it should be tight. If the wheel doesn’t turn freely something is wrong. If it isn’t tight, the nut may come off. As you reach a stoplight.

I have the 914 rubber one which is a quality part,found it floppy like the stock one ,from memory I machined half a millimeter off the bush and all was good.
