Engine standoffs
 
I need a set of 4-65mm engine standoffs. PSP Manufacturing was my go-to supplier, but they are closed. Tower/Horizon doesn't give any specifications so it is not possible to make an informed decision. So, does anybody know of a supplier that sells standoffs, or has the length of the DLE 30, 55, etc standoffs so I could find what I need.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Looking through my stash ...... the DLE 30 / 35 standoffs are 60mm, the 55 has ones that are 68mm. The 55 standoffs are considerably heavier duty than the ones for the 30 though both are tapped for 5mm bolts on both ends.

DA makes some nice standoffs in 1.25", 2.5" and 3". These are tapped 5mm on one end and 1/4 - 20 on the other. I have others on airplanes but I can't access them right now.

Truckracer,

Thank you for the reply. I will look at the DA option. The 2.5 inch with a washer or 2 might do the trick.

I usually use standoffs that are a bit short and make up the length with large diameter fender washers at the firewall. Watch those washers though, hardware grade washers vary quite a bit in thickness even from the same package. I measure them and mark their thicknesses With a Sharpie.

Ditto. Again, thanks for the response!
