Well. I don't think I could take anything meaningful off the gearbox, the bolt heads foul it everywhere.
The heads would have to be no higher than a thick washer. I pictured a flat head about 2mm thick at most with an Allen socket going down into the actual bolt. More or less like a grub screw with a head.
The other idea I had was to countersink the disc carrier and use countersunk screws, but not sure that's good practice on a disc? I've never seen countersunk ones before, but I'd only have to do one side.

Actually thinking about it, countersinking might have legs? Unless there is some engineering objection? I certainly wouldn't be able to grind slots to get them out if they were stuck. (milder locktite me thinks?)
