Hacking Where to get OLD R4 Cartridge Shell?

[JDMEVOIXMR]

I recently bought an R4 Cartridge Shell on DX to replace my broken one, but turned out, it was for the new R4, WITHOUT the spring. Can anyone please tell me where to get the OLD R4 Shell? Thanks in advance!

The spring is not in the shell its on the board? The only difference on the shell is the shape of the notch for your finger.

i tried to make it fit, but it wouldn't fit. the shell is a different shape.

They stopped producing the first shell so it's near to impossible to find one.

2nd batch is missing the spring load which isn't a huge problem and those strands of plastic that seperate the contacts so the cartridge disconnects easily if you move the DS around too much.

I think that this is older shell, but it is sold out at the moment
