I can't reply for Rycote officially, because I only design stuff for
them - I don't have any input in terms of sales or OEM deals with
Soundfield...
In the bad old days I think some clips were made to allow the enormously
fat body of a ST350/450 to be slung inside the "stereo" (150mm)
windshield on sturdy o-rings. Very few Soundfields were used in that way
and I don't think more than a handful of rigs were sold.
With the advent of of "lyre" mounts it has been entirely uneconomical to
tool up for old-style windshield versions that would sell less than 100
in their lifetime. But the USM mount, that was designed for chunky,
side-address studio mics, can support the Soundfields very well. The
only down side is that the these are meant for use on stands, and have
no method of fixing a windshield to them. I suspect that is why you
haven't been getting sensible answers from the distributors, who are
somewhat foggy about such rare microphones.
If you have an old stereo windshield you might be able to perform a
little butchery to make a USM fit - it isn't impossible. But Rycote
wouldn't recommend that sort of one-off work officially.
Rycote will always provide alternative lyres if you are unsure what
version you need - they are pretty good that way.

Anyone know what compatible Rycote parts can be used with a Soundfield
ST350 / ST450.
I have quite a few Rycote sets and am reluctant to purchase another full
set from soundfield.
They and their distributors have been less than help full in telling me
what parts are the same. (they use different part numbers than Rycote).
Rycote also can't tell me, as they only make them for soundfield, and say
I need to contact them!
