Using an N64 replica controller for a new shell, is it possible?

Hi all,

I want to replace the controller shell of my N64 controller, however, I can't find any through Google. Am I not looking hard enough, or is nobody making these?

Instead, I figured I could just buy a cheap third party clone, like these ones:

And remove the insides, and put the original N64 controller insides in this controller. Would that work?

 

Why not just buy a new controller? they're really cheap.

That's the inside of one of my crappy 3rd party ones like those in your links. If the mounting holes for the analogue are the same I guess it should work. I can remove the PCB and take another photo if you like.
