I've got a set....let me see if I can get you the basic dimensions. I believe I can trace the thing on paper and ID the dimensions and hole sizes.
Its gonna be a couple days., I'm buried this weekend in wheels to polish with more coming, so I have to take care of the paying customers first..

If you don't hear from me by monday, send me a reminder in PM..I'll try to help you out. I've heard that these things are not as common as they used to be and the sets that are available are a lot more expensive.
