Probably wouldn't be too hard to replace the spring loaded platen on one of my LX Digital or Analog Dial Data backs with a FF sensor, and cram the electronics into the fairly large battery and clock box. Expand the Dial Data Back's compartment to cover the whole back if need be, Use the power from the motor drive's battery pack. Piece of cake!
