Pending further and detailed measurements, I am presently certain I'll have enough room to mount each generator given their width of 11.4" and considering each be centered over the respective sides of the A-Frame.

UPDATE
Since adding my posted thread #40 yesterday, I have since taken some measurements and determined (based on MWGautreau's setup) that in fact my ProPride 3p AS/WD spring bar (vertical) jacks will interfere with the space needed for the width of the gensets being 11.4". The alternative being (of which I am since exploring with Sean Woodruff at ProPride Inc) to replace the vertical/upright WD spring jacks with the Lippert StrapTex system of which they (ProPride) offers as an alternative tensioning system. Doing so, will eliminate the spacing problem I currently have and permit me to follow in similar design of MWGautreau's fabrication and installation of the dual gensets.
I just need to understand what doing so (e.g. swapping out the spring bar tensioning devices) might result in labor-wise with regard regular/recurring use of applying and releasing tension to the 3P's spring bars.
With my current setup (sans any gensets), I simply stand up alongside the WD jacks and run them up/down with a cordless drill whereas with the Lippert system, looks like I'll be down on my knees cranking and holding back their cam-gear latch/locks when wanting to release tension and possibly something I don't really want to sacrifice in terms of the ease of use of the standard ProPride jacks I have now.
