The brackets came from the 2003-2004 KOP. They're very poor as far as motor mounts go. They were notorious for cracking.
Ditto on the cracking- also be aware that the plastic housing for the old drill gear boxes typically would crack after a while and the gears would fail or fall out. The tiny tabs on the housing and face plate are a weak spot. It is vital to support them perfectly and allow no torque on the housing. You might put them into a drill housing and support the whole thing.

Unlike CIMS the drill motors had issues- I'd go with CIMs instead if possible
