Double Bass Full Circle Installation and adjusters

Sorry, this topic hs been debated before, nut I am a bit confused. I just need to know I got this right.

As I understand there are two types of adjusters: the "free-rotating" adjuster wheel (which mine aluminium adjuster seems to be) and fixed wheel design with internal thread mechanism on the threaded end. Right?

The Full Circle is of the latter design, with a fixed wheel and needs a threaded insert on the bridge. Right?

I have an aluminium adjuster of the "free rotating" kind fitted on my bridge. The holes on the bridge are 9 mm so I will need some sort of insert to make it 6 mm (for the "non-threded end") and create a steel threaded insert like described here for the other side:

Have I got this right?
