I can't get the 70mm parts for my P70, could I adapt a V8 70mm gate and would the V8 intermittent sprocket fit?

To answer my own question, the experts at the Italian projectionists site say no.

I have a friend, who does have a 70mm gate for a P70. PM me for more information.

I've been told the Zeiss Favorit 70 is the same machine,does anyone have a 70mm gate and intermittent sprocket from one of these?

I have a Favorit 70 and would like to find a 70MM gate and sproket for it.
