I have plans that I used to build the prototype, but they are nowhere near as extensive as those available now. The current plans are the result of literally hundreds of hours of CAD time and several thousand dollars in labor. Take advantage of that.

It's relatively easy to convert fractions from 1/64" resolution to the nearest 1/8th inch. Just divide the numerator (part of a fraction that is above the line) by 8. To get to the nearest 1/4", divide the numerator by 16. So grab a calculator and go through your drawings and convert each value as needed, writing your rounded value on the page. Then you'll have a set of drawings with approximated dimensions you can work with.

If you need, there's a conversion chart at the link below that might be handy.
