Swing axle modification

Not sure if this is the correction section to ask but i figure Formula Vee guys will see it here.
Does anyone know the name of someone doing the Swing Axle gearbox modifications to allow engine mid mounting as in Formula Vee? Brisbane area or QLD?
Also what are the ways to beef up the box, I know of using aftermarket quad spider gears with a threaded retainer, larger input shaft, aftermarket crown wheel and pinion, changing gear sets etc
What I'm really asking is what about the DIY stuff like stronger side plates and I have heard of a saddle being put over the top of the box and bolting into the side plate holes to prevent twisting.
Thanks

As far as I know we just swing the crown wheel over the other side of the gear box and that's about it.

Talk to John Alder of Volks Engineering hes south side of Brisbane way he should be able to put you right.
