Custom Rig, need some hardware for case mod

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Working on a project that involves sandwiching some equipment between two sheets of aluminum (each sheet 2.5mm thick, tapering holes already drilled in the corners). Having difficulty locating the threaded tubes (standoffs) needed..

I have a set of screws and threaded tubes that model what I am looking for, but the standoffs only allow for 9mm between the aluminum sheets, and I need approximately 25mm.

Here are some images of what I have.

What I need are the above standoffs in different lengths:

Threaded tubes/Standoffs
1" or longer (can cut/grind any excess length)
1.85mm thread diameter
4-5.5mm tube diameter

Edit: An alternative description for the item is:

#1-56 Threaded Standoff
Outside Dia: 5/32" - 7/32" acceptable range

Have looked in many places, but not finding what I need. Anyone have some recommendations for buying special items like this?

Forgot about barrel nuts, but more importantly, forgot about McMaster-Carr. Thanks for reminding me.

Not able to find exactly what I need listed on their site, but have sent them an e-mail and hopefully they will be able to help me find it. At least I have a better standard for explaining what I need now:

Round Female Threaded Standoff (preferrably Aluminum)
Thread Dia: #1 (1.85mm OD screw)
Thread Count: 56 (per inch)
Outside Dia: 5/32" - 7/32" acceptable range
Length: 1"
