GavinO is an unknown quantity at this point
With regard to locking the gear on the drill motors: We used a ring of PVC to lock it in, but found that after a while the ring would tend to disintegrate, but the problem would not be noticed till we got a jolt and the motor shifts to nuetral (usually under full power!). So, the locking works, but its a good idea to a) make sure your lock is stable and b) make sure you can get to your motors easily. Just getting the point where wer could bring a screwdriver to bear on those motor mounts required 1/2 hour of work!
