As per today all major cars are  built with front drive and almost built with a wheel bearing hub integrated with double ball bearing who act as trust in both sides and as been proof since lot of years..

I found one who can be use to match the prop stubs by machining those hole stubs between the original wheel stubs and remove the existing stubs and enlarge them to remove excess weight'.

The wheel flange have to be reduce in diameter to standard prop shaft size flange.

The attaché triangular flange can be machined to .200" thickness to reduce weight and all these parts are soft enough to be machined.

The hub can be hold on pressure fit and  with 3 long bolts from the inside aluminum casing and the head seal with orings to hold the oil pressure inside the gears chamber, or 3 long treaded studs.

The aluminum casing can be machined from solid bar or get it  cast from foundry, it can also be added some ribs for more stiffeness

You can find the wheel hub bearing in Ebay at $40.00 and up depends on quality.

The both shaft are about $80.00 from Slauson Transmission Parts,all other parts as sun gear ,planet.ring gear,front ring,drum forward ,bearings less then $200 from Slauson few years ago

I am sending you several sketch showing  how to built this gear box and it might be a few more pounds of Tracy one , much cheaper and fast to built with almost available parts.

Jean also sent some picture of his rotary powered scale  Piaggio Avanti he is working on.
Perhaps by mistake :) Interesting nose gear.

BTW Jean set your epson scanner to save as jpg instead of pdf. Then you can attach
the jpg's to email.
