Re: Mounting Grayhill Encoders On Rookie Transmissions
On our custom WCD for this offseason, Grayhills 63Rs were were loosely pressed into the inside ends of the rear axles and the encoder housing was secured (so it won't spin with the axle) by zip tying the signal wires to the frame (method found here on Chief Delphi).

I admit I am not familiar with the KOP drive train, but it might be easier to figure out how to mount them on the outer live axles instead of to the transmission? For the method I described above all you really need is a 1/4" hole at the center of one of the other live axles.
