Default sig LT40 taildragger conversion

Hey everyone, i have an LT40 with a nose wheel mount and plywood ripped out. I can easily fix this but was wondering if anyone had converted one to a taildragger. I thought it might be kinda kewl if it's not too much work and a pain to perform. What kind of tail wheel assy would i use since it can't be run off the rudder?

thanks, Rob

I found some pictures I took for a guy. Enjoy.
You may want to put the LG ahead of the bulkhead.
