Servo dimensions? CAD drawings?

I just made an unpleasant discovery today. Even within a single manufacturer — Hitec, in my case — not all "standard size" servos actually have standardized dimensions, even in their mounting holes. For example, the HS-635BB is a couple millimeters shorter than the HS-300 and HS-422.

This makes it really hard to make standard brackets and such that will work with any "standard" servo. But maybe I can make several versions...

What would really help is if I had good (CAD-quality) drawings of common servos. Anybody here have anything like that?

Thanks,
