    Can anyone help with a supplier for standoff fixings.

    I need some fixings, brass finish. None of the suppliers I have found can supply as per the ones I need and none can supply with a spacer.

    The sizes are Set screw:M10 x 25mm, spacer: 5mm thick x 15mm dia, Cap nut:M10 x 15mm deep. I know they exist as the customer has supplied a sample acrylic plaque he wants replicated.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Many thanks for your quick response. ISP can’t help but they have given me another lead. Seems the spacer bit is a problem. Strange really because all i want to do is stand a sheet of green edged clear acrylic in front of a stainless finish substrate with a 5mm gap. Seen signs like this before so that the graphics give a soft shadow onto the substrate.

    Dave,

    Let’s see a photo of what you’ve got to match too.

    Neil, I tried to do that but failed. Couldn’t figure out how to add a photo to the post. 😥

    Dave,

    I’ve had the same problem too trying to add a photo in this forum……

    Maybe you could post a photo of the fixings in the file swapping forum as there is a facility to add attachments there.

    Unless any of you more experienced forum users know a better way? :plane:

    Dave,

    I see what you mean about the spacer………..

    Fairfield Displays and Albion Display Systems don’t seem to have anything with that spacer in.

    If that fixing you are matching to is solid brass there’s a good chance it’s been custom made.

    You may find a trip down the local engineering workshop the best bet as
    I found with a stainless steel fixing I had to match last week.

    good luck
