The other option is to just have holes for the bolt heads to fit through on the spot you're mounting this. Generally, your mount will be a lot more snug and reliable if the face is right up against the surface you are mounting it to.
2. You probably already know this, but just to remind you, you're going to need another spot for a bearing on the front plate if you intend to add a third stage.
This is a beautiful, elegant gear box. Awesome job on it!

Yeah I did not think about the bolt heads getting the the way I will have to go and fix it but the I add the third stage I will have to face mount to thag any way. The reason I have yet to add the third stage and another bearing because I am not 100% sure how to do it but I will figure it out
. As for saving space I am making this box with the intention of making it easy to tuck away and less awkward so I could mount the motors closer together but I choose not too. Thanks for the feedback.
