Re: Andy Mark Toughbox - Warping Plexiglass

Remember, DO NOT use regular Loctite on anything that may come in contact with Lexan (polycarbonate).

Loctite causes a reaction/dissolves the polycarbonate, which makes it brittle and very prone to cracking and shattering.

The entire polycarbonate plate is needed, because it holds the bearings and supports the shafts. However, you can use the aluminum spacers in the link you provided in place of the extruded aluminum box around the transmission.
