If the H to S distance is 45 mm as you say,, and the action geometry is fairly standard otherwise.. just insert paper punchings to 10 mm and upright aftertouch should be ok. Then regulate the checks as needed. You may also have to re-regulate the damper spoons as the whippen wont move as much. As it is I suppose the jacks are pushing hard against the jack stop rail and stressing this part of the system. This will probably feel a bit weird and squisshy to the player, so its a good bet you can make like a huge improvement with a good basic regulation, and impress the heck out of your customer.
