Ah, thanks for saving me the trouble of digging out my own 6300.
The exact nylon standoffs might be a bit difficult, but the metal parts
could
easily be replaced with plain old threaded hex
standoffs. The original
metal
standoffs are press-fitted into place and my guess
that they'll be
difficult to
find, even if you do own an appropriate press
I was wondering if these are pressed in, or if the serrated edge around the
bottom of the mounting indicated some kind of two-part component with a
special tool to screw the two halves together. Sounds like it is a single
part :-(
The great thing is that the holes for both types are recessed on the
bottom,
so that getting a good mounting using a washer-head
machine screw should
be no problem. I've got bags of aluminum hex standoffs of various sizes
and
find them to be invaluable. Jameco also offers a
somewhat more limited
selection.
Here's Mouser's 578 pages of standoff choices:

So maybe not original, but close enough functionally.

I hadn't considered doing something like this. In the end I am most
interested in functionality as long as I don't have to permanently alter
anything.
Thanks for the suggestion.
