Sorry Peter I do not have any measurements nor drawings!
I purchased just a bar of aly stock and had a friend lathe out the DEC coupling piece which replaced the original SW one - sort of fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants style and used the CW extension bar for the G11 which as you know is threaded at the top and therefore the CW bar is actually threaded in a-la Losmandy style - I use the standard Losmandy weights since I have plenty of those around because I also have a Titan 50 in the obs not being used at the moment
For the base attachment to the Losmandy tripod I just used a standard Skywatcher pier fitting that came with the 3-legged pier that they sell and just had an adaptor made to fit
HTH
Cheers
Bill
