converting bent to tadpole trike?

I posted this in the mechanics forum, probably not the right choice, sorry didn't see framebuilders forum until later.
So the question is : how difficult/ realistic would it be to make an axle adapter that would mount on my front fork dropouts and turn a two wheel recumbent into a tadpole recumbent? In principle it sounds very easy, but IF I'd need to make something that would allow the two front wheels to tilt on turns it could get complicated fast. Has anyone out there done something like this, or know of a site that can explain the dynamics of the front steering.... I've got a trek r200 if that makes any difference.
Thanks Roger
