The downtube either needs to be bent out of modified to accept the starter. Just a Hammer doesnt seem like it would do it unless you want to weaken the frame.

I personally have done this. Electric starter will NOT fit without modification. You will have to grind a notch in the downtube which will affect the strength of the frame.

You have to then sort out a battery box and a wiring loom.

Yea, if will work, but you will either need to grind a notch in the frame where the starter goes or just hit it with . If your trike has the trunk on it, you can put the battery in there, just secure it down somehow, mabey zipties? Look at pics of the 82-83 Big Reds to get a idea of where to mod your frame, or just look at a friends.
