I got a of M0 shells with a faulty connector(which are being replaced by the seller no sweat) but I want to try and salvage them by cutting off the connector and soldering in some DIY drivers. 15.4mm drivers have been suggested to me by furyossa but after some research it appears 15.4mm DIY drivers are the standard for mx500 shells? I measured the m0 shells (pics below) and it is significantly smaller than a mx500, with smabat's 15.4mm drivers needing a large lip to fit the smaller shell. Measurements are a bit tricky because the shells use a compressible o-ring to secure the drivers with the measured value depending on how much force I applied. So I measured sambat's drivers(which I can't plug in) and got a value of 13mm on the inside as shown in the picture.
Does anyone know what form factor of DIY drivers(if any) will fit these shells?
I think only other hope would be maybe bypassing the female connector soldered onto one of the drivers sold by smabat?
The driver needs to be detached from the ring. The driver & cover is probably 15.4mm, where as the ring that snaps into the cover is 13mm I.D.
You can see the smooth black metal or plastic adapter ring in your photo where you measure the 13mm.
Looks like its there but in upside down. Pop the gold looking piece out, that is the MMCX connector.

Doesn't seem so... Maybe they sent me the wrong version?

That's both sides clipped together.

Lmao, yes, thank you! They were so tight that I though that you couldn't remove that, but yeah.

Just wow! The composite BE driver and the metal shell from NSC. I tried stock with no tuning at all but there was too much bass bleeding to mids and too much bass. Tried foam and terrible stage and no bass and texture. But microporous tape does magic. The bass now is punch and very present (bassheads will like it), has a nice texture, the mids have body, and the highs are laid back. I really much like it. Has a nice touch of warmth to it. I would say this set is L shaped. Would pick 100x times these over the 130 LCP. Wil order more.

Micropore or microporous tape. I've used tons of times with IEMs before, but works flawlessly to reduce bass duration and quantity without changing the highs response by much.

how did you put that in? just tape it behind the drivers?https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKuPqH5

I used this in which I made a few holes with a needle

For 130 bery drivers i use silver MX500 shell (Tingo TC 200). For MX760 drivers you can use also MX500 shell
