I haven't actually drilled a hole yet...-...but once you see the new sights, it will be rather apparent to to where you should drilll.
No, they aren't exact, but they will work & interchange.
Maybe I should send Eric a Porkchop sight, so they can be axact in the future??
If you don't I can send him a shroud that someone kinda abused that could be a good fit or used to line it all up.

OK, Heres an update on the sight. Sorry for the delay but things have been crazy. I bought a model 15-2 sight and a EWK fiber optic sight. First of all they both work perfect if you put a model 14 shroud on your model 15. Without the taller sights you'll shoot about 6"-8" high with your rear sight bottomed out. The original 14 sight was way to low. I put a .001" shim on either side of both sights before I tapped the sights into the shroud. I cut them to match the profile of the sight being inserted. I drilled a .0595" hole thru using the existing hole in the shroud as a pilot. I actually did this with a dremel and drilled halfway through the sight then flipped it and finished drilling from the other side. Ended up perfect. By using a dremel and using the existing shroud hole as a pilot it was actually hard not to drill it perfect. Instead of using the existing solid pin I used a 1/16" x 3/8" spring pin. I probably didnt need the extra shims but I just didnt think the sights were snug enough without them. I ended up liking the 15-2 sight a little better than the fiber optic sight. Just my personnel preference. I've attached pics below with the new sight. First pic is with my s&w 642 snubby. Had it in my pocket so I just threw it in the pic.
