Servo mounting brass rods
I've decided to put RC into my Superior and I notice that there are 4 threaded holes in the footplate for the reverser servo, looking at my L and B Lew which has a very neat RC set up by Track shack, they have used brass rods with bolts that fit in these holes and suspend the servo at the correct height which I can see also online a picture of the same on a Superior.
My question is where do you get these from or do I have to make them?
Regards
John

Re: Servo mounting brass rods
At last somebody is interested!
Yes they are called Standoff Spacers used to mount PCB boards at various heights and they start at M3 and are hexagonal with a male and female thread at each end.
I've found them in box sets or individually and they come in lots of useful lengths, beware of one particular supplier on eBay as right at the bottom they state the delivery could be delayed due to weather conditions! That to me is very suspect.

Ah, I know what they are as they are used in computers.
You mentioned brass rod in your original post so I was not able to advise.

Re: Servo mounting brass rods
Thanks Steve, thats most kind, it just goes to show that if you don't know the proper name of something, no amount of searching on Google comes up with anything!
