Rycote ORTF configuration and alternatives

Hi all,
I am looking for a windshield for ORTF stereo recording using 2 MKH8040 mic=
s. I know Rycote make an ORTF Windshield version with MZL connbox suitable =
for these mics. However  this adds considerably to the price because you're=
 paying for the additional MZX8000 connectors on the connbox.

Can anyone tell me if its ok to use the "no connbox" version of the kit and=
 then fit a connbox 3 (for MS stereo) instead? (connbox 3 is 2 x 3pin XLR -=
> 5pin XLR). Obviously this makes the total length of the mic and connector=
 longer.

I was also wondering if anyone has successfully modified a standard Rycote =
windshield kit for ORTF recording with the 8040s?
Thanks,

Jon
