Nikon SP covering

Aki Asahi does not make a #4008 covering for the SP but does for the S2. The only differences I can see between the two bodies are the eyepiece and the self-timer on the SP.
So, my question is: could I get the #4008 kit for the S2 and use my old SP covering as a template to cut the hole for the self-timer? Trimming back the leather for the SP eyepiece would be simple and I could do it in a detailed enough manner that there would be no small gaps around the eyepiece corners are there are with the stock covering.
I ask because my SP covering is peeling a bit at the edges and has already shrunk about a millimeter around in many places. Instead of fighting this battle with rubber cement, I'd rather just give it brand new clothes.
If anyone has put the #4008 on their SP, I'd love to see it as well.
Thanks all.

Phil Forrest
