Can't wait for your pictures.
Then you have to drill two more chassis holes and countersink, making a break point for the chassis as it will be very very weak there. You should have seen that issue. My idea is to use the original front gearbox holes on the chassis so solving one issue and also blocking dirt from getting in at the bottom. Look at my pivot block on my new gearbox and imagine it 9mm higher in between the cf plates attaching to the hole above. Im filing the whole section and drilling slowly through the grain to make room for a copper tube which can be glued for strength. Dont need it for the chassis holes as its not through the grain and a narrow threadlocked nut will hold it in sufficiently. Ive cut a bit off the top to account for the nuts without affecting the original block layout.

Now thats all down to if it works but if not my other design looks great and hope its what i use. Its a design that i put a lot of thought into using those chassis holes and bending in places to avoid hitting the belt.
