Ollie,
the quick answer is no, no drawings.
The better answer is just cut exactly 0.5" from the frame below the web for the upper mainspring seat. The guy that did the cutting used edm and build a jig to hold it for steel welding.
Notice there is no silver solder band as is common, as it is welded.

Also shorten the mainspring strut 1/2", and the mainspring itself you have to play with a bit as it must be cut to fit in the shorter space.

I do have pictures I'll be adding as I get time.

Hope this helps.

I figure it will take some measuring and head scratching to make sure the spring will still fit, figure out how much the mag can be shortened and so on. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so do you have any dimensions and/or project pictures so we can get an idea of how it's done?
