The Mukluk has a 100mm BB so naturally I ordered the 100mm BBSHD version.

However the chainstay interferes a bit with the secondary reduction gear housing so only about 12mm of thread is showing on the non-drive side. Only enough space for the mounting bracket and lock nut but not for the dust cover/jam nut.

On electricbike.com it was suggested that you can do without the dust cover and just put blue Loctite on the threads of the locknut. Has anyone tried this successfully?

Or should I just order the 120mm BBSHD bare motor with a ton of spacers and sell the 100mm one?
 
This build has similar problems, with fixes:
