Default Gretz Heated Pitot Control Module Spacers

I have misplaced my bag of hardware for mounting the control module (circuit board) for the Gretz Heated Pitot (the board that must be mounted near the pitot tube).

Can somebody tell me what the spacers are? Are they aluminum or isolating washers or something else? How long are they?

From memory they are aluminum. You need to make sure that they don't touch the circuits. They can be a bit tricky to get in place depending on were you mount your board. What I did was used longer screws. Ran nuts onto the screws to hold them in place as studs then put the board on using the nuts as the spacer. Then put a 2nd lot of nuts on to hold the board.
