That does sound broadly in the right ballpark judging from fitting uprated TB's to various 205's over the years.

Reducing the shock-shock centre distance on the dummy shock by somewhere in the region of 8-10mm per extra 1mm diameter of TB should get you close, but you'll probably need to tweak it slightly to get it exactly where you want it.
