.. Oh dear god please no.
The Wife's effeminate male cousin from the land of the free and the home of the preternaturally stupid called today.
He wants to visit "Jollye Olde Englande" again and see his auntie (the wife's 93YO mother) and all the other remaining/hanging on like grim death UK relations this summer because he finds Arizona far too hot at the Summer peak there.
Of course... she said....."Yes come stay with us for the duration of your trip and invite all the other people you want to see to come here and see you".
I feel a fit of the vapours coming on, I can't stand them.
The wife's still bearable even after 50 years stuck with her (at a pinch) but the rest? Jeez. ;)

If I was you I'd carry on fitting, and vaporising. Until the idea evaporates. Unless your W decides that as he is her cousin she will take total reponsibility for the whole visit.
Seriously, all my sympathy, mate:(:(. And start planning that summer road trip!! ;);)

... I got some time in the mess I call my workshop, but it wasn't very productive . :)
I did punch a 32mm hole through a tube to see how good/bad my rear axle assembly would fit. Pretty snug TBH, but I am not looking forward to the fillet welds on the curve of the axle-tube.
I also tried to estimate "how" the 2WD unit would fit in the cage when the central section of the axle-tube is cut away. It doesn't look too bad. But I can already see that weld-cooling has put a bend in the axle tube end-to-end. View attachment 285124

I messed about trying to determine "how" the drive to the 2WD unit would be aligned and arranged and discovered that it is very unlikely that I will be able to use the recently obtained SA 8-Spd as the IGH mid-drive.

Why? - Well, the SA 8-Spd has no disc brake mount to attach a sprocket to and I would have to affix something to the spoke flange instead. Problem is that the diameter of the spoke flange is so large that I would end up introducing a permanent gear-up to the whole drive system as the Output of any such arrangement would end up being > 25T in order to attach to the flange (probably 34T) and the 2WD unit is 22T. While that doesn't sound like a lot, it matters.

So I may very well have to use the N380 (which does have a disc brake mount) to which I can probably attach a 22T sprocket.
Another challenge will be the mounting of the N380 on a platform without the chain(s) fouling any framework.

It seems that there are problems in all directions. Great fun, isn't it?

What is this 2wd you speak of? Some unearthly motorcycle contraption?
