Cut up the casing of a bic pen, and use a longer screw to bite into the wood.

In this one older cab I got  cork was used...I removed it and put in proper feet but it seemed to work.

I've also thought of using pieces of a broken plastic clothes hanger.  I had one that was hollow.  Since it is sturdier plastic than a pen I bet it would work fine.

You also might be able to find something that will work at an electronics/computer parts store.

I agree with Shardian on the pen.  Since you aren't going to have the piece you are using be very long, its more than sturdy enough.  It's quick, easy, free, and works as well as anything else.

You could try suzo, I believe it's the UK arm of Happ, they should carry the same stock. Never used them myself but I was going to buy a monitor from them until I discovered Pentranic was 20 minutes away from me!!!!

Regards.

You can buy PCB Mounting Feet from Ultimarc. it's a bit hidden on that site (really wish he'd fix that), but it's on the ArcadeVGA, I-PAC, J-PAC and other Interfaces page.

Thanks , I was looking at Ultimarc but I thought there was a standard DHL charge of around £8 for delivery (I'm sure I tried a while ago and there was a charge ) but I've tried again and went to checkout and there is no delivery charge , :applaud:
