Replacement Treelocs?

Does anyone know where I can find replacements for the circuit board mounting posts (treelocs, standoffs) that mount the crossover in my SDA 2B's to the large inductor? They have survived so far but are showing some wear and tear. If you guys keep coming up with improvements for the crossover, they're eventually going to bite the dust.

Thanks,
Stew

    If need be computer motherboard standoffs are essentially the same. They are not as "high" but can be placed back-to-back or modified with a pair of clippers. You can find them at any computer parts / service store or are usually provided with any purchased computer case. Most people don't use all they give you so any computer geek will have dozens laying around. It's a workable alternative if you can't find any specifically made for your speakers.

    I found some from Richco (available from Digikey) that look like the originals:

    I'll need to know the hole diameter and thickness of both the pc board and support panel (inductor) and the distance between the pc board and support panel. Anyone happen to know the dimensions?

    I looked high and low, the only ones I could find that were close were still a bit shorter than the originals, but I believe they will still work. Could have been from Mouser or Digikey, don't remember.

    Stew, you have everything you need to make those measurements.

    F1- I'll take measurements next time I pull the crossovers. I was just hoping someone knew the dimensions so I could order them ahead of time.
