A further thought is not to bother. What's wrong with BS308? There was a time
when we didn't use computers to draw stuff; we used pencils and pens.
A typical rear mech hanger would take me about 5 minutes to drawn with a
crayon on a bit of scrap cardboard. That drawing then goes off to the
fabricators.
The bloke in the workshop reads off the dimensions and works accordingly.
All your hanger is is a triangle of plate with radii and some drilled holes,
one of which is tapped.
