Guy's (and ladies sorry Tina almost forgot about you)
Allow me to throw my two cents worth. Why not go the same route that Leica did
with the R8-9. Just build a back that would click into place on a Leica body.
You might have to make a few different sizes to attach the electronics to but
IE
flex, R3, r4-7 and let it rip. It be alot easier than basically rebuilding a
whole different body.

Gents,
I propose you deal with the lens mount or internals as the way Leitax did;
though their product only replaces the mount to allow for infinity focus. To
butcher either one of the bodies to get the lens mount and aperture actuator to
sync up might be too daunting of a task. If you combine what Leitax already
did
and add an additional gizmo for auto aperture, it might be easier to start
there. Since the Nikon body already can assume a manual Ais/Ai lens attached,
your goal should be to make the Leica lens appear to be so, but of course this
means no going back to an R body after the modifications; though to be honest,
if you can accomplish your goal I would sell off my remaining Leica bodies and
go full on with Nikon FF DSLR bodies. Heck, I'd shoot them with my F2-F5...
