Re: pic: First Sheet Metal Drivetrain CAD
The gearbox as you have it looks pretty difficult to manufacture. Extremely deep and narrow U-channels like that are hard to make with a press brake without some specially designed tooling.
Or is that two pieces? It's a little hard to tell.
Either way, I'd suggest using a flat panel that bolts to the outside of the chassis rail instead. Laser cut bolt holes hold much better tolerances than bends, and you have to keep things pretty tight when center-center gear distances are concerned.
