Default Robart drill jig for GS

Is a Robart drill jig for GS planes available? The jig that comes with the Robart pack cannot open wide enough. Has anyone done a modification to the supplied jig? Thanks for any info and suggestions.

Rotate the jig's arm's around 180 degrees where they look backwards, it'll fit. The only thing is that the jig will set on its rivits while in the drilling position. I haven't seen a trailing edge yet I couldnt use the stock jig with the arms reversed on. Walt
