Where to buy Long M6 Spikes?

[DarrenHW]

I'm trying to source some long M6 spikes, next week I should have a second piece of slate for my 401 plinth which I want to sit on my Target wall bracket. The problem I have is the Target is designed to have a recessed shelf and the slate will be too big to fit in the recess. I'd like to install some longer spikes in the Target that will clear the top of it but I'm struggling to find anything long enough.

It's approximately 45mm to the top of the bracket then I a couple of mm to clear it and enough thread in the Target. The best option I've found so far are Soundcare Superspikes:

14011

they have a maximum length of 53.5mm.

Anyone have any other options?

Ive just measure two different sets of spikes & a set of Mana spikes they all seem to be around the same length..Can't you use a secondary platform?

[DarrenHW]

The reason I want longer spikes is so that I can try different platform materials. There's so much written about CLD plinths and the effects of different materials I want to be able to completely isolate each platform. If I use a secondary platform I'm always going to have get the flavor of that platform in the mix. By using longer spikes I can have the slate directly on the bracket and I can then seat another material (timber, glass, acrylic etc...) on the spikes and sit the slate on top of that and experiment with different feet in between. Admittedly I could have a smaller piece of slate cut to fit into the recess but as you already know I'm cheap.

I appreciate you'll probably consider this a load of fannying about, but I like fannying about :).

Fit a long M6 Grub Screw/Stud into the Target stand, fit that M6 coupling onto the Stud you got an extension to fit the standard spike
