Mod for a greenspeed to use a BOB trailer??

Has anyone seen, or better yet have any info on, a modification to the rear frame of a Greenspeed GTO so that it can use a BOB trailer?

The Logo Trike has such a "built in" and it would be easy to add to the GTO with a welder, BUT I want to see an example first - if one exists

I have written to Rachel and the mob at Greenspeed about an add-on or retrofit, but have not heard anything yet.

While I don't have a greenspeed, I do have a Catrike Trail with a Scram Dual Drive (the BoB company does not have an adapter for the DD). I wanted to keep the DD so I installed 1 1/2" bolts onto the rear rack struts and used the spindles from the (included) quick release skewer. This works so well that I have recently aquired a crystalyte front wheel hub and mounted it in the 16" wheel on the BoB, creating a pusher trailer....Love It!!
