You could do this...

PC boardmount clip one end threaded other, threaded spacer and screw to fix board, 2 washers to make it 17mm

...unless you only wanted genuine.

PM your address and I'll post this one, FOC, Just put 50p in your favorite charity box when you are out.

The whole thing tbh. These legs are more rare than de-hydrated DoDo sperm! :mrgreen:

I thought I had a couple spare & have been franticly searching for them for 2 days now. I have to be real careful as to what I let go atm, as I have 2 A4K CPU cards going out & all have to be catered for.

I would have kept quiet about it normally, but now I'm shitting myself 'cos I can't find 'em! :?

But seriously, I love the Hack to make do. Inspiring!

I knew they would be rare :roll:

I think I'm going to end up with some nylon threaded tubes and nylon screws (generic PCB spacers)

To be fair Quagmire, a couple of Brass Hex Bar spacers Machined to length & tapped M3 each end, would be much more solid job!

Do you want this topic closing or are you still hoping to find some original parts?
