Thx Freebeard- I already have the trailer built around a Type III subframe- perhaps it was you who steered me that direction in the first place! (And a second autostick Type III subframe waiting in the wings.)
Partially due to electronics incompetence and a desire to demonstrate what 'should have been' in the good ol daze, I'm still inclined to start with my Kaylor-Kit adaptor and WWII starter-generator on the VW transaxle, but have been intrigued by the Toyota/Lexus drive unit for quite a while, just haven't put any serious study into it...
I've made a solemn vow to self and spouse to not acquire any more interesting projects or even improve upon any existing functional equipment until all other round tuits are rounded. Or at least most of them. (Or the project better be exceptionally interesting!......) My current fleet has maxed out my parking and maintenance capabilities.
