The picture shows how the transmission is mounted to the side plate. If i remove the trapezoids, the bottom two supports will not be held on by anything. However, by moving the transmissions further up and removing the trapezoids, the two Top supports now would have nothing to hold onto, unless i change the sheet metal design (also changing wheel height). I could change how close the trapezoids extend to the floor (shorten them by 0.5"), make some flanges on the bottoms of the trapezoids and then the floor clearance would be about 1" (currently .5"). Would this be a better alternative?
