Re: pic: Cobra box

While taking another look at this, I thought of something else. You may want to consider putting the plates that support the worm on the "outside" and bolting into the side plates. This way the thrust loads from the gearbox (which will often be shock forces, not light constant ones) will pull in-line with the bolts used to bolt the plate on.
