I can't see your photo clearly, tiny.

Certainly supply of PP9 is erratic. I make a card case from cereal carton and double sided sponge sticky tape for two 3 way AA holders, or one 4 way and a 2 way. The connectors can be readily bought. I use paper glue stick to affix the printout of the old case to the card.

One I did earlier

I've made some in the plastic cases of PP9 from Halfords and B&Q when exhausted by removing the bottom and insides. I've found the rivets fail on the connectors. The bought connectors are better, though obviously the black and red wires are wrong. I remove the plastic sleeve and reverse the wires.

I've a colour laser printer. Ink jet printout needs a plastic film or varnish.
