  • Short answer is yes, if you search for M5 Standoff Spacer on eBay etc you can get various stand-off lengths with an M5 bore. The tricky bit can be finding the correct outer diameter.

    Top hat sections can be harder to find. I usually have to get these made and it’s expensive.

    You may be able to 3D print something if it’s just locating the screws and not load bearing. Also search for 8mm brass or aluminium tube with 5mm bore and cut to length.

  • Cheers - These are the search terms I need.

    Can't think of any issues with nylon as a material and that could be ghetto lathed with a drill and sandpaper.

  • I had a load of nylon spacers come with a screw kit for a TV bracket
    Just googled ‘TV bracket M5 spacers’ and a place called accu.co.uk does all sorts of spacers in both plastic and metal.
