40mm Bofors dimensioned drawing

I'm in SoCal and work on Battleship Iowa now located in San Pedro, port of Los Angeles.


I am looking for a dimensioned drawing of the shell casing (not the projectile) for the 40mm Bofors gun.


Does such exist, and if so, can you help?


Thanks for your time.
 
I would add that I need a pretty much completely dimensioned drawing, not just OA length and rim diameter. Need rim thickness, body diameter bothends, etc.

I suppose an alternate could be a dimensioned chamber drawing. We are trying to make a chamber inseert.
 
An alternative, due to lack of any response, may be to acquire one of the cases. They are quite plentiful.
