Nice custom work for the direct drive. You should save some weight without a tranny. You'll want to make sure that the bottom skid plate you use mounts to the bottom 4mm holes in the rear bulks. These brace the rear bulheads and without it, the only thing attaching the bulk from the bottom is the 3mm shock mount scews. I found out the hard way that just using the shock mount scews tends to be a bit much under hard driving conditions.
Any chance you could get a picture of this 4mm screw's location? I suppose it doesn't help that I don't have a rear bulkhead to be able to find it myself.

And a quick note, that skidplate won't be sitting so low when all is said and done...
