Is that plate supposed to be flush with the 2x1 tubing? If so, there's going to be some interference between those two button head screws and the tubing wall. Also, how would you plan to remove the gearboxes in competition?

The CAD is very clear here. The plate is flush, the bolts go through the tube, through the plate, into the tapped standoff.
We remove the bearing block faceplate, remove the two 1/4-20 buttonhead, and the gearbox is removed. Identical in function to our current designs. We consider the bearing block an integral part of the gearbox.
None of this is untested, all we did was make the ballshifter the same black box more or less as our current designs.
