What kind of bolts will you be using for gearbox adapterplate?
I've been unable to find suitable m10x1,25 bolts that won't faul with the gearbox.

Well that is exactly the problem.
counter sunk m10x1,25 bolts don't seem to exist. Atleast not off the shelf.

But you could have counter sunk m12 bolts machined to m10x1,25.
as avandull did http://forums.austarion.com/viewtopic.php?t=10602

I'm also in the process of making a adapterplate and already made a cad drawing of the plate, but I still have to find a solution for the dowels and the countersunk bolts.
