Remote control bd spacer (New Astro)

Post by erzane »

Hello everyones,
I wonder how does the spacer relative to the screw shown on the following pics looks like. The manual also says there is one at the center of the remote pcb (280-5170-18 - SPACER MP-18). Regarding the screw, it's shorter than the two others and it's a machine screw of M3 x 12 (the two former screws are tapping screws of 3 x 20). What kind of spacer is it? Do you have it?

it's a common plastic hexagonal column with m3 thread, the length is 18mm as stated in the manual, the screw does not go into the cp, the spacer is for giving the remote board extra support so you don't accidentally break it in the middle.

It would be great to find it somewhere. Do this hexagonal column have a casual technical name?
Maybe do you have a picture?
