Sure - hope these have enough detail...
(i'd have to take it all apart to show more)

The dayton motor has 4 mounting bolts for which i cut
slots in the aluminium jiffy box so it slides up and down
(to engage/disengage gears)
It is held in the engagaged position by a bolt placed
in an appropriately postioned hole underneath the motor.

The azimuth motor was a lot simpler -
a single bolt holds it on a swing arm -
the motor is held up by friction,and you simply
push it down when you have the target in the sights of the
spotting scope.

As luck would have it - The GSO680 mount has a 1" diameter post - perfect for 1 1" hub mount for the large gear.
You do need to drill a hole to put a bolt through the hub - the hub cant grip the post tight enough to move the OTA. without it.
