Look at our web site to the page A-100 Mechanical Details
http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100m_e.htm. Here you find a lot of the
information you are asking for. All parts are available in Germany from
ProMA (www.proma-technologie.de). In your country you may ask another user
about a suitable company.

The threaded inserts ar equipped with M3 threads. The distance between the
M3 threads is 5.08 mm (= 1/5").

Best wishes
