If it's 40 tooth then you would have to modify, unfortunately.
You should reconsider the cim removal issue with the through bolts. Making heavy motors part of the frame is really awkward for assembly. Harder to put them in place, in addition to the regular mounting problems.
Maybe just making one of the cims have a different mounting hole pattern would work.
