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.

If all you need is a 1/4" hole to mount the encoder, you can attach a 1/4" shaft coupler to the encoder stub at the back end of the main output shaft. We've done this in the past with a potentiometer when we were making a TB-mini into a super-sized servo to steer our t-shirt cannon.
