Seems like a half case option to be used with the gorillamaxx parts was an afterthought, made without making any alterations to the design ( I would have allowed more room for bearing play to be adjusted with shims, and deepers holes to screw the gorillamaxx cover in place; hindsight is 20/20 however....).

I can believe the screw issue, but i have heard the fit is just as bad with both halves. And the gmaxx half does work with the stock half.
And yeah I use shorter screws but the motor mount screws holes are short as well which bothers me. Oh well I don't have a tap set. FLM has brilliant moments in every area and some a bit less than brillant in some areas aswell.
