4488 Off-season Gearbox

So last year our drive train had some issues with a center chain in a WCD, so we decided this was finally going to be the year we actually made a direct drive gearbox in order to fix these problems. This is what we came up with. Its a direct drive single speed gearbox with toughbox spacing except for 12 tooth pinions instead of 14 tooth pinions. The only question I have is if the material surrounding the bearings is enough. Right now they are between .2 and .3 inches. Should I make them thicker, or is that good enough? Also do you think there is anything I can do to make it better.

Ok got the correct pictures.
