The gearbox is now in the chassis after a little it of a struggle. As expected I had to take a little metal out of the front of the box to get it to fit under the frame spacer. What I hadn't banked on was making cut outs with the piercing saw in the frames so the chubby motor would sit down.
Not sure that there is much that can be done about this. A thinner motor might work but could be a bit underpowered. A taller gearbox would help but the space above the motor is limited. Of the two I suspect the later is a better bet if you can get a decent ratio and not end up with a thoroughbred that travels at shire horse speeds.
