If your chassis is particularly simple then it will be particularly
simple to fit into a generic framework so that should make your life a
lot easier here. Generally the simpler your system is the easier it
will be to use in something generic, it's not going to be stretching
ideas about how things should look and is more likely to have good
helpers available already.
