R4 shells will not fit the Saenz rods directly because:
1. The nib/tan/register is on the opposite side to the Saenz.
2. The O/D of the R4 shell is greater requiring precision honing of the Saenz rod.
A 1990s Honda Civic shell will fit but is incredibly scarce to source, apparently.
EDIT: Dave - I see you confirmed the differences noted in 1 and 2 above earlier - your reply was within a comment Charles made so I did not see it at first.
Thanks R. Problem solved.
I can't see a suitable sized Honda shell in the 2016 Glyco catalogue so your source is spot on about scarcity. The same Glyco catalogue lists Renault 4.
