Alf, here is Taiwan\'s Bigeye FD 85L to EOS conversion. While the text is Chinese, the pictures themselves should provide good reference for you.
Too bad this was not published before I doing mine. I ended up with many tiny bearing balls fallen inside the focusing helical, and I had to completely disassemble the lens to take out all the balls. A magnet and a magnetize screwdriver was a big help here. I also took the chance to relube the lens.
