SDS MK4i-Falcon500 With NEO Vortex (4416-skynet)

Like numerous other teams, we were significantly impacted by the Falcon 500 shortage. As first-time users of the SDS kit, we initially opted for the MK4i-L1 configuration with Falcon 500s. However, due to the unavailability of Falcon 500s, we decided to replace the drive motors with NEO Vortexes. Yesterday, upon receiving the new motors, we promptly commenced the design of an adapter plate to convert the NEO Vortexes mounting holes to the Falcon 500 mounting ones.
Below are the Results:

The adapter is milled out of 1/4" thick 6061 aluminum. Therefore, the assembly uses the same spacers in a different order (placing the 1/4" spacer below the gear). Additionally, the same screws can be used, depending on the tap size (we used 10-32 screws).
