I'm building a pair of Vamisound V-414's (more info here), and I'm in the final stages now that I got a beautiful pair of CK12-style capsules from @OPR. I went to install the capsules, only realize that I don't have a good way to do so. Mark supplies the brass saddles with his capsules, but no mounting posts, and I'm not sure if I want to use mounting posts anyway. Real C414 EB's used some kind of plastic/rubber mount, as seen in these pictures:

The Vamisound instructions show a post instead, but it looks to me like that would place the capsule too high up:

Thoughts? Anyone have any creative ideas? I suppose I could try to have something 3D printed, but I've never messed with that before.
