I have been using a Rycote S300 blimp (with a standard Lyre mounting) for my Tetramic
for quite some time.
The Lyre is absolutely the best isolation I have ever used for any mic (the wind
protection of the blimp is great too).
I had a piece of 1/2" OD x 1/16" wall thickness hard plastic tube, it was pre-slit
lengthwise (for a motorcycle odometer I no longer use).
I cut a 2 3/4" length and slid it over the Tetramic body - works like a charm to make
the Tetramic fit the smallest Lyre.
The plastic tube does not deform in the Lyre or slide on the knurling, and the Tetramic
stays in place in the blimp.
It is easy to remove the Tetramic from the Lyre and also the plastic tube if you want to
use the Core Sound mounting - just put your fingernails under the plastic to release the
tension and it slides right off.
I align the open slit in the plastic with the Core Sound logo so I can easily tell where
the "front" of the mic is in dark places just by touch.

The shockmount supplied by Core Sound for the TetraMic has very limited
compliance in the vertical direction, not least because it is so tiny.
So I asked Simon Davies of Rycote whether he could suggest a way to fit
the TetraMic to one of his company's InVision mounts.
I have added a page to my web site showing the result:
