Im wondering if all the little 4mm holes I drilled in my chassis at some of the more narrow points has weakened it. How easily do these chassi bend?

I decided to redo the center area as I just wasnt thrilled with some small mistakes I made. I ordered some 6061 aluminum and am going to re build my CD and motor mounts. Basically there will be two "C" shaped plates, one for the CD and one for the motor. The CD plate will allow me to mount the CD like it should be, screwed in from the bottom. The legs of the C will screw to the chassis. The motor C plate will have the legs attach to the inside of the TVPs and the body of the C will be facing the front so as to be close to the spur. Maybe hard to follow... have a look.

I dont know why I didnt think of this in the first place, its so much simpler than what I did before and uses many less parts.
