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? Ross
23.8mm (15/16") spacer

Is there another way to do this?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.

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. :) Ross
