There have been many mods done to Ercoupes for just that purpose! Get in touch with the Ercoupe Owner's Club and Skip will give you the info you may need. Also, if you're in Orlando, try to attend Sun and Fun in Lakeland FL. Its coming up real soon. You'll get a good idea of the folks involved in coupes and I'm sure more help than you'll be able to handle. Incidentially, here in Teaxs there is a woman who flew a coupe for many years without the benefit of legs. A remarkable woman named Alverna Williams. Good Luck Al
