Not exactly sure yet.
I do have the gearbox from the Leaf, so I have the female connection that matches the motor driveshaft.
I also plan on having the clutch, as that's the only way to maintain the full independent PTO and and driving system.
The Leaf motor driveshaft is relatively short and the drive end bearing was never designed to hold any significant amount of weight.
At this point, I'm thinking of machining a stub shaft, supporting that with a bearing in a plate and then a hub with the flywheel.
The flywheel will have to be lightened or replaced with a lightweight version.
