Mounts; Motors, bearings etc..

Thanks Jazz, I think it should all fit in.. I'll just do a complete redesign if it doesn't! (so far I'm only wasting paper, not metal!)

Didn't find a bearing to drop in here too but here's a pic! I'm not convinced about the scale being correct.. but it should illustrate what I mean

Ye I get the picture but I already did.!

To me it seems your not accounting enough for the fixed screw bearing mount and how it will mate with your proposed motor mounts, this will be the main determaning factor to length required.
Also like Lee skirts upon the other down side to this way of doing things is the lack of easy adjustabilty if things or needs change.!

As Lee has suggested I got the end portion (F) of my screws machined 25mm long to leave plenty of room for pulleys. You could do the same here if necessary.

If you do something a similar size to what I made here it should be fine...if not luke is in trouble! I don't remember spending more than a few seconds deciding the length.

I can make you some if you like but it would cost more than a piece of box section and you'd almost certainly be much better off investing that money in buying pulleys as I keep saying! So much more versatile...

This may help, if you've not already found equivalent:
