Re: pic: 2x1 gearbox

How close are those top CIM mounting screws to the upper wall of the tubing? Are you having to remove wall material to thread those screws in? Would you if you increased to 1/8" wall tubing?

What's the clearance between those same CIM mounting screws and the cluster gear?

What retains the output shaft from shifting?

It appears to me the hole on the CIM side of the tubing is sized to pilot the boss, and the 14T pinions are to be installed via the hole on the opposite side of the tubing once the CIMs are already screwed in.
