The grommets are a genius idea! I'll have to find some and try that.
Very satisfied with it. Seems to be of the right dimensions, i don't have an 87 currently to confirm. Here it is compared to Behringer B2. Don't know if it's available on Aliexpress.

There is space, but just one hole.Does it have space for a switching PCB? I see one switch in the photos- does it have all three?
Just listened to the file the following are some ideas I could be way off not having one of the bodies to testI have and attached below is a sample with the mic clamped down in a Rycote at the headbasket ring.

"McDaddy Microphone"?
...Do you happen to know the dimensions of the head basket?"McDaddy Microphone"?
Other than that, doesn't look too bad... And on the bright side, it's "made in Germany"...
Yes, but I'm only interested in cardioid, (switches can be adapted if needed), it's important that the headbasket is close to the historical one.I notice that 'the switch is not functional, only decoration'.
Hi Kingkorg,Seems to be like this one but with added "switches".

Close to the original, but not spot on.
RuudNL,Order one, and you wil know!
+1I contacted the seller on Ali, and got some more info on this new body.
For reference, the body initially mentioned at the beginning of this thread, that is close in size to an actual u87, is called the "HL-77"
This new body, the one that looks more like an 87 body with the cosmetic only switches, is the "HL-95"
These are pics they sent me of the HL-77 and HL-95 side by side, with and without shell, and another close up of the inside of the 95.
The vertical distance between the mounting holes on the rails of the HL-95 is 80mm, which I believe would perfectly accommodate one of Poctop's D87 boards. I've asked for the measurement of the width from hole to hole, whether it's 34mm or 38mm, so I'll report back if I get an answer.
