How much of the gearbox will you be sharing? Is the shifter the same internal rod with hex shaft? Gear types and ratios?
The FP adapter design worked out well for us, until we got to IRI. The needle bearing on the output shaft found it's breaking point. This is a planetary assembly that we want to sell in the future, but it needs some improvements before that is done.

I do plan on putting together a descriptive paper on this, just not all of the print details. We used the same internal hex shaft shifter. Here are the ratios used:

CIM motor: 18 tooth, 32 dp
Intermediate shaft: 64 tooth, 32 dp (mates w/ CIM gears), 1/4 face
Low gear: 15 tooth, 20 dp, 14.5 p.a. 3/8 face
High gear: 28 tooth, 20 dp, 14.5 p.a. 3/8 face
Shifter/output shaft:
Low gear: 48 tooth, 20 dp, 14.5 p.a. 3/8 face
High gear: 35 tooth, 20 dp, 14.5 p.a. 3/8 face
12 tooth, size 35 sprocket (qty.2)
