Aluminium threaded 'Standoff's" posts for turnfin mounting

[Shane Bastick]

Does anyone know where to buy the aluminium "standoff posts" that are used to mount through the sponson to provide a sold threaded insert for the turnfin, like used of the Keps outriggers

any ideas on where to get them is much appreciated

thanks

5/16 aluminum bar stock. Cut to length, drilled and tap for 6-32. Rough up the outside then epoxy it into the sponson. That's what I do.

Binding Post from Lowes in various sizes and extensions. I used 1 3/4" long cut off 1/8" for my JAE .21 and 1 3/4" with a 1" extension for my big rigger. They take a #8 screw.
