If I remember rightly I used to get them from RS Components, (when they were called Radiospares :-) ), I think they were used as wafer separators for rotary switches. Try and search for spacers in RS Components, you may be lucky. Don
I was looking for some thin spacers to go under a PCB. Couldn't find any on any of the usual sites. Ended up using 3mm nuts which were the right thickess.
Thanks for the offer but I do not yet know what lengths I will need
Longer answer
The spacers are for a palm rest (hamster pad) for a field target air rifle
The stock is away having an adjustable cheek piece modification done
When it comes back I need to fit the palm rest but the amount of stand off will only be determined once the shooter sits with the gun and the measurement made
A further complication with the particular gun is that the stand offs will need to be different heights due to the profile of the stock
Thisis why I was looking at an assortment of lengths
Tube does not do it for me as the tube I have seen has too thin a wall
This is a problem more in relation to the bolt size (5mm) and lateral movement of the stand offs than the risk of damage to the stock due to the wall cutting in
This is a special I think. I would suggest you get a bit of suitable OD aluminium rod off Ebay, give us your general location and ask if there is someone locally with a lathe who could drill it out for you - similarly seek the same support on one of the model engineering forums.
