I did a search but did not find my answers

Do the BM800 type microphones have the same inside PCB screw spacing?
Will one size PCB fit all the different BM800 type microphone bodies?
 
So I got two bm900(little longer body) microphones for the bodies to change the capsule and install a follower circuit idea in them.

The plastic shock mounts that were in the boxes are no good (IIRC Kron posted to get the metal ones)

I tried the microphones they sound odd.
I don't think it is the circuit it sounds more like the capsule grill and makes me think it is not worth it putting a better capsule and circuit in the microphone.

These microphones are noisy and use cheap electret microphone capsules.
I used similar bodies to build good sounding microphones!
(There isn't much inside that you can reuse.)

I was going to just use the bodies however, the weird sounding capsule grill interaction makes me wonder if it is worth the time.
 
Thanks
I thought maybe I was hearing things.
I have seen and read about a number of builds using the BM800 like body with the round grill that have positive results.
The BM900 ones I bought have the round grill with what looks like the BM800 grill.
