So here is what I've been working on.

This is the double gearbox/motor drive with some covers removed, etc.
It will use the existing gears, bearings, etc from two MGR's.
The existing ring gear will bolt to new output shafts that directly bolt to type IV VW CV joints.
Also, there is a twin gearotor oil pump in the center bearing section that integrates the output shafts as part of the pump.
The existing power connections have been swapped to radlock parts to provide a reliable and obtainable power connections. The existing resolver and temperature sensor plugs were used.

I've got drawings out to a friend w/ a CNC shop. Depending on feedback, I'm going to further scallop parts to reduce weight, etc. Also, the oiling system needs more work. It's getting closer to reality.
