You might want to check out this guy. He has a LOT of stuff you would not imagine:

And one way to possibly address your issue/problem, would be to get a recessed board that is just deep enough to allow infinity focus -- no point in getting one deeper than you need -- then moving the hole up as high as you need, and turning the lens upside down -- so that you have enough room in the recess for the shutter adjustments, admittedly on the bottom.
