WILL THESE FIT AN H/L PZ 4 LOWER HULL ?

I assume they will but does the battery box need to be removed or modified?
My Jagdpanzer 4 conversion is stalled because I cannot get the gearbox low enough to clear the lower front hull under the mantlet housing.
Definitely dont want to bust my ass to get these if they replace one problem with another.
Plus I must have the output shafts be able to fit late Pz IV drive sprockets.
Appreciate any guidance folks

borrowed this picture from tomhugill's jagdpazer iv conversion (link below) if you look between the gearboxes you can see the battery box screw so should give you an idea of how long they are. You will need to remove the front mounting posts for the upper hull can't help with the sprockets

Those Taigen gearboxes at a mere £16 more than the potmetal HLs below them are an absolute steal!
A branch store in Ontario is badly needed Mr. Forgebear!
