WTF is this thing?

[nutxo]

And where can I buy more? Ive tried the hardware stores and they didnt have anything like it.

Why would you want more if you don't know what it is and don't use it?

Those are ancient standoff screws for the motherboards of the very first computers that used to take up entire floors of office buildings.

Don't know the scale of it, but it looks a lot like a riser.

They are called mortem posts. They are used by taxidermists to mount animals to backboards.

standoffs


they're usually aluminium or nickel plated or stainless now, and often hexagonal so you can put a wrench on them.

Places like digikey and mouser will sell small ones for electronics (generally #4, #6, and #8 threads, probably not much bigger though).

Not rusty. Just bionic....and ribbed.

Hmm. I should have taken a pic next to a measuring tape. These are an each inch long and like 3/8 in diameter.

I never said I didnt use em. Ive been using them as standoff for an aluminum plate for years. They were attached to the plate when I got them.

these are only 1/4" od though. #8 thread. Someone makes them bigger surely, but I don't think this outfit does.

No resemblance to my ram rod at all.
