That's a good point.

So, if I cannot find what I need, I'll build it.
Sometimes I also get that willing to build a vehicle to match some very specific criteria, but now I'm more inclined toward building a tricycle for budget reasons and in case I eventually move to another country where I could have a hard time switching the driver's side.

and took the GC drive axle apart to see if the short and long sides are interchangeable... they seem to be! This is good...
Weight and space savings? That sounds good. Maybe could turn into an excuse to not disconsiderate the repurposing of the GC brakes into a parking/emergency brake setup. Well, even if you resort to a single master-cylinder for the service brakes and some hydraulic valve to use it as a parking brake, having an all-mechanical emergency brake doesn't sound bad at all.
