RF Wells shell holders?

[GOPHERLAKE]

I finally found a Wells Professional Model C press this weekend. Does anyone have any Wells shell holders? They're the threaded type, same threads as the Herters threaded versions, with a shorter skirt.
I am looking for holders for common cartridges (Wells follows Herters numbers)

1- 30-06 family
2- 30-30
6- .38/357
7- 7.62 Russian
15- 30 Carbine
19- 9mm
22- 44 Mag

I would also like the adapter (for threaded, not Herter's slotted), and the threaded primer post.
I have extra Herter's holders to trade, if someone wants, and some Lyman J type holders.
Only drawback on this press is I don't think you can "cam over" with it.
Thanks for your consideration.

Are you sure the Herter’s threaded shell holders won’t work? IIRC, Wells actually manufactured the Herter’s presses if that vintage. Just wonderin’...

Actually, the Herter's shell holders will work, but their threading is such that when they are fully tightened, the slot faces the back web of the press. I'm not a machinist, so no way to cut the threads to orient the slot outwards. I did find workaround-thread a lock ring on the outside of the Herter's holder, screw it on to the Wells ram, and you can move that up and down to orient the holder in the right direction, firmly locked on.
Would prefer the correct holders, however.

Don't cut the threads, put a thin shim washer under the shell holder. Might have to fiddle with it to figure out what thickness you need.

Shim washer would be my choice.

Thanks for the washer idea all.
Since I only have a #5 holder at this time (.223), still need others.
Let me know if anyone has any they can part with.
