Will Heil ever plan to make RC 35 capsule to fit Sennheiser wireless?

Will Heil ever plan to make RC 35 capsule to fit Sennheiser wireless?

So, a basic question - it appears that primarily there are Shure and Sennheiser type wireless transmitters.  Most of the third party capsule descriptions are vague as to what they fit - saying it fits most manufacturer's handhelds.  Earthworks says this:
"The WL40V is a wireless microphone capsule head suitable for use in a variety of live sound applications. The capsule head has a three ring bulls-eye connector and is interchangeable with any of the screw-on-type handheld transmitters that receive a 31.3 mm / pitch 1.0 mm."

[/size]Is it only a matter of diameter and thread pitch that makes the difference for these capsules, or is it more?[/color]

They both have bulls-eye rings on the capsule side but the Sennheiser has more of them.

If the Shure connector is a three-ring, the Sennheiser is either five or six.

Ah.  Annoying.  Thanks for the clarification.

What about an adapter ring?

I figured someone clever could engineer a solution.  Finding it would have been a pain.  Thanks, Matt!
