Where to find type L of Seiko movements

Hi all,

I have been down this rabbit hole a bit too long, so hoping for some help from some one with fresh eyes and ideas.

I am hoping to find type L of Seiko movements (preferably NH38, but I can live with pretty much any of them). Essentially, it's the higher hand version (hour wheel and the 2 pinions are 0.4mm taller, so they can accommodate thicker dials).

Wondering if anyone knows where I can find them, or at least the taller hour wheel, or something like this: hand height kit for 2824(but for Seiko). Or, all else fails, anyone knows how to create more clearance for the dials? At some point, I stumble across a post somewhere (sorry, bad memory and browser history) suggesting to put "tubes" for hands, but I can't seem to find those either (except for chronograph hands)

Thanks a lot!

I did. They didn't report one way or another: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/seiko-kinetic-mechanical-movements. I assume it's the standard (type M) one.

Interestingly, when I Google for type L, they have a PDF with "Seiko high hand series." The PDF tells to contact them. I have sent a request for quote. Thank you for suggestions.
