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