any place that sells aftermarket 5 screw shells? I'm looking for something that will fit a tall famicom board on a low profile adapter. original 3 screw shells won't work because of the tabs along the top so I assume aftermarket 3 screw shells are the same.

INL uses 5 screw shells but they only fit INL boards properly. Everywhere else seems to only have 3 screw shells.

How many would you need? May be better off posting a bounty for a bunch of Golf and Baseballs to be repurposed.

i don't need many and i'm sure i have plenty of donors floating around. was just trying keep from cutting something up if possible, plus aftermarket shells come in a lot of colors.

I'm not aware of anyone making aftermarket 5 screw shells. However Usually it is pretty easy to either cut out the top middle notch, or cut a notch in the pcb itself depending on the board.
