Is it in market?

I've never seen anything like that, but it seems to me that you could make one up by using a length of threaded rod for the narrow part, and a coupling nut (the type that's used for joining sections of threaded rod) for the wider part. Any decent hardware store should have what you need.

You'll never find that at a hardware store, as you've probably guessed. Do you know anyone with a metal lathe? Start with a piece of hex stock of the appropriate size (the size of your large "nut"), Drill & tap the hole inside that end, and then turn a shoulder on the end you want the large thread on, and cut or turn a thread on that.

If there's a machine shop in your area, this shouldn't be more than a

Looks like a standard threaded standoff used in electronics. What are the dimensions? Digi-Key sells them

It just sounds like a standoff to me. You should be able to find them at any local hardware store, depending on what sizes and lengths you want.

Yes. It's call a hex threaded standoff. You may even see a few on the back of your computer. I've only see fairly small ones used in electronics. How large do you need one?

Try this link for EZ Lok threaded inserts:

McMaster-Carr calls it a male-female threaded hex standoff. It can be found here:

I need spacer/standoff that will give me 3.2cm space.

Having read advices on another thread rushed to a hardware store which claims to be hi-tech one, but could not find even a sample or a picture.

But now I am clear and should not have trouble to find or fashion what I need though it will take some time which is not much of a problem.

Thanks everyone for responding.

You'll probably need to take a 3.5cm and grind it to size.

As numerous guys told you on rec.crafts.metalworking, they are called "STANDOFFs".

Bingo, caught one on the very first hit:

Went to two reasonably large hardware stores here in London. Not to any of DIY superstores yet. There are 2/3 big names. But as now I know what they are called I will find them.

Thanks everyone for responding.
