Standoffs for PCD-50B

[madgrizzle]

I'm finally putting the case back on my 2000.   What suggestions do ya'll have for raising the height of a PCD-50B mounted in the left floppy drive bay?  If I mount to the base, it's too low for the case.  I can't seem to find the right standoffs that fit into the bottom holes of the PCD-50B.  Are they available?  Is there a recommended 'hack'?  

Thanks

Workaround 1: Get some (slightly) longer screws and metal washers at the hardware store to raise the drive height.

Workaround 2: If you don't have a CD drive, get something like this to mount the drive in the 5.25" bay.

I opted for the latter. The A2000's floppy bays are unusual in that only Commodore's floppy drives fit in them without a big gap - they're slightly taller than a standard half-height bay.

Thanks.. i found a mechy thread indicating the threads were 4-40.. found some 4-40 3/4-inch machine screws and 8-32 nuts (used as thick washers) at the hardware store and it worked well.  Three 8-32 nuts raised the reader to near perfect center line of the floppy.
