We mount the drill motors and gearboxes in their green cases. The green housings are then mounted to the chassis with 6-32 threaded rod using the holes in the housings. We mount chiaphuas using their mounting holes which I believe are 10-24 and put screws through a vertical 1/4 inch thick or so vertical aluminum piece or angle. I've seen some teams attatch motors with hose clamps but I'm unsure of the rigidity of this method.

Motor mounting isn't really difficult. Give it a try.
