This looks like a good first attempt at custom gearbox. Couple of things I am confused about here. It looks like the cim mounting holes are not easily accessible and theres just way too much reduction for your application. Also confused on why the plate does not contour the spacers and why there are such big bolts holding the whole thing together. Seems like your shafts will locate the gearbox well enough without gigantic bolts and the pocket seems a little off... and could be more aggressive...
