Sorry, the timer and IG mechanisms are not cross compatible. Too much difference in the way they work. I had to make changes to the aluminum valve body tube (tubular part housed in the shells) which is not removable from the grenade shells.

Basically I had to reduce the difference in area between the large and small diameters on the shuttle to reduce the net axial force that the shuttle exerts on the trigger bits. I also had to shorten the sealing length on the small dia end of the tube to advance the opening of the shuttle when the IG stack collapses.
