Ok, after seeing some comments about the new starboard fuselage 95 plus having a front wing positioning very close to the original 115, I decided to mod mine to make it a 115 minus! 
It didn't go perfectly as I am by no mean a competent machinist but it will work fine I think.
To do that I needed at least one spacer from the plus fuselages so I could make the saddle correctly. I have a set on order but a friend lent me one so I could get on with this project. Note the saddle for the original vs the plus fuselages is different. This actually critical. Because the new saddle need to be deep enough to accomodate a spacer and the stabiliser, there is considerably less material left on the fuselage to machine the threads deep enough to engage the screws properly. To solve that, the saddle has a step up in the middle so that's what make the project a bit tricky for an incompetent machinist...note the scallop where I forgot to tighten the mill table after making an adjustment, lucky it's between fastners!! Ah well I'm sure if I did another one it would look better...Regardless, this may be helpful to someone...
Here is a few pics. I look forward to try it!
Is the shape of the saddle in the shim the same as the saddle originally in the fuselage? So the original stab can be used? thanks

Yes that is correct.
Follow up on the modified 115 fuse, It works perfectly. I had a session with 800/225 and -1.5 shim in 5-18kts and it obviously add some early take off. At no point I found it overpowered. I think the -1 shim would be more balanced as it was still a bit back foot heavy with the -1.5. Happy overall with the mod. Not looking back!
