Take your pick. I'm still debating, but several choices in square, rectangle, and channel all fit the price rate listed.

I had an idea about how to have my cake and eat it too. Since the cabin will be so overkill, I can make it quick-disconnect, letting the second seat portion be removed or installed in a couple of hours.
The real issue is finding the right longitudinal 2WD transaxle with the right gearing. I'm leaning toward an Audi manual with a compound ratio in top gear of 2.30:1 . Cheapest and easiest-to-find would be a '98-up VW Passat V6 manual 5-speed version, but that's 3.07:1, top gear of 0.79:1 times final drive ratio of 3.89:1, (on the differential).
