Although the Toughbox Minis were direct drive, they were built to interface seamlessly with the new sheet metal frame on the KOP drive base. It looks like it would be a lot different to use them in a WCD application.
It looks like it will be a whole lot more difficult to both design and machine, and with you stating how you are trying to limit the amount of machining you have to do, Joel Glidden's method looks like it requires a lot of precision machining to get working.
My team has a hard time accurately machining things, so we always look to use and buy as many cots parts as possible. I feel that if you even question your ability to connect the gearbox reliably, you should go and find the excess money to buy a gearbox which better interfaces with a WCD tubing.
