Defender CPU Mounting plate PCB standoff height & thread ?

i am making a metal plate for my Defender CPU/rom/Snd/IO set - can anyone help with the standoff height and thread size/pitch as used on original Defender, robotron etc CPU mounting plates ?

I am looking at a page on www.jameco.com with some suitable looking standoffs - http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/catalogs/c294/P106.pdf - so i wanted to check the correct length, and thread diameter/pitch before i purchased a set !

Cheers!

They are 8-32. Remember that they are metal so if you wish to continue using the metal plates as ground then you will need to either get metal standoffs, or run a wire to the plate to complete the ground.
