I called you Nick as well sorry Mick lol

Yes, I would prefer the correct bits otherwise it’d bug me

They use these standoffs on motherboards for computers - though the official name for them escapes me. Still worth keeping in mind

I have tried those and they don’t fit but thanks anyway.

It seems Tamiya use a custom hex standoff with different size threads on each end.

PM sent, Adam. Bits are in the post.

If anyone has spares and can measure the sizes, they might be able to be sourced on Ebay/AliExpress etc - probably at a small bulk cost instead of Tamiya 'spares prices'

I recommend you just use M3 standoffs, and install a nut on the backside (of the gearbox); or, in the alternative, use M4 standoffs and drill out the hull holes and obtain suitable M4 screws.

Probably not the first choices, but...it would work.
