Today I looked an Ekie and Pathe Gem that I have and it would appear one is able to use the gate from a Gem and retro fit it to the Eike with little effort, also the sprocket from the Gem will fit perfectly on the shafts of the Ekie, or just use ones from Pathe projectors.

The feed and guide rollers may have to modified or again just replace with same from a pathe or another 9.5mm projector.

The claw and cam box is only held by two bolts and is easy to remove.

My thoughts are to simply move the cam box the required distance to centre the film perfs, ( move the cam box outward the required distance and take up the space with shims or washers)

Just keep in mind that in 9,5 you have to mask a part of the frame when you project a sound film (otherwise you will see the sound strip on the screen.
