Re: pic: 3 CIM WCD Ball Shifter Second Edition
While it seems convenient to use the CIMs as the nuts that hold the standoff through bolts on, having your gearbox fall apart when the CIMs are removed probably isn't a good idea. Converting that idler shaft to a standoff would help remedy this and save the weight of a bearing.
Also, if you are going for flat try for one where all the CIMs are in a line (or nearly so) recent 341 and 254 gearboxes come to mind.
