What holds a ring gear add-on stage to the new dual input gearbox? The STEP model shows a couple of 10-32 screws sticking out, but there is no threaded 10-32 hole to go into on the ring gear stage. The 10-32 screw would seem to go into the the cutout corners of the ring gear block. Does the ring gear's shoulder press fit into the plastic housing of the dual input?

This picture shows the 10-32 screws sticking out and not connecting to the ring gear. What have I missed?

Hey Dan,

The casing has a pin in it as well, to lock the ring gear stage from rotating.
This coupled with the 10-32's screwing into the output stage, and the ring piloting, hold the gearbox solidly together.
