Default Contemporary Cobra frame drawings

After my accident with the Contemporary Cobra a few months ago I am now proceeding to repair it.



Body is off and being redone and frame stripped bare.
The frame has taken some damage and i have it in a shop where they are going to put it on a straightening rig.
The shop is asking me if I can supply measures of the frame, which would make their work easier and more precise.

I contacted Peter Bayer asking if he had plans or measures of the frame. He said everything was sold (to Burtis I guess), who went out of business 3 years later and who sold the drawings to Factory 5 Racing.
He also wrote not to expect much from F5, since similar request in the past were not honored.
I nevertheless contacted Factory 5 asking if they had the information I needed, but got as an answer that since they did not purchase the frame/jig from Contemporary they do not have the information.
So who bought them then?

Googling around I discovered that Allied Industries International were selling a very similar frame, and wonder if it may not have been the frame Contemporary used in their kits.

Anyway, is there anyone who has or knows who has drawings of the frame with measures which may help in the straightening process?
