help/ideas on capsule mount, how to make it higher?

[antocu]

Hi guys, I have a tlm103 clone from ali, the body is beautiful but the capsule is too low inside the headbasket and it's because the mount is very little as you can see in the photo.
For my u87 build I managed to raise it using some grommets, but here I have two screws that attach to the bottom of the capsule deck so it's different.. I've looked for longer screws but they are of a small size and I want to go 1cm higher so i need a greater thickness. I'm considering a very rough alternative which consists of gluing some washer between capsule mount and deck, hoping it will last over time, but maybe somebody find a better solution? Cheers

Look on Aliexpress. They have lots of cheap capsule mounts of varying heights.

What thread are those, M2, M1.6?

M1.6 and M2 screws, 12-25mm in length, sorted by ascending price, currently in stock @ TME in Poland

(M1.6 available in 12 / 16 / 20mm lengths - not the cheapest though, with 100-200pcs minimum quantities)

... Or alternately you could look at male-female threaded spacers / standoffs...

Thank you, I think M1.6.. yeah a bit expensive.

I'll take a look, I didn't consider that option

Yeah they have, but not many with the right screw mount for my capsule deck..
