Take a look at my M/S page, there is a pair of MKH-800's there running
in a Rycote stereo suspension.  Other than being the size of a small
watermelon it works.  I do have another design to make for them that
will be much better for side address.  But that's a way off and not
something you could buy anywhere. I have so many machining projects in
the fire now.
