Not really feasible for a production run... I thought that this size would
be very common, for simply spacing pcbs an inch apart. 20mm with 1 nut and 2
washers is working well at the moment. :)

The cheap, ugly way:
[ 3/8" spacer ] || [ 1/2" spacer ]
^^
flat washers to size
Another cheap ugly way:
Buy a roll of high density plastic
tubing used for fuel line service
and cut to length. If you can find
the right stuff, this can work well.
The pretty, expensive way:
Have a local machinist face off 1/16"
from a handfull of 1" spacers.

Try Keystone at www.keyelco.com - all the spacers and standoffs you
could ever want.

Does any one know a source for such a thing? I'm trying to space two pcb's
an inch apart to fit on two rails in a 19inch rack: 25.4mm - 1.6mm (pcb) =
23.8mm. Is there another way to do this?
