Gearbox mounts

Last competition season, our team decided to go with a holonomic drive on our robot. But one thing that always seemed to be a problem with that was the motor mounts. When we first noticed that the weight cause the gearboxes to bow, we decided to use an aluminum cross bar. But even with that, the sagged. The next step was a sort of panel that went under both gearboxes to hold them in place. That design didn't work either! What have you guys found useful/simple for any sort of gearbox mount?
