On our gearboxes we generally speaking tap the standoffs on either end when they are anything more than about an 1.5in-2in. Shorter than that and we do a through and through on either plate and secure it with a nylock. I agree with Nick about the 10-32's for holding gearboxes together, depending on the application we will use 1/4-20's to secure it to whatever it is being fastened too for extra strength.
