Stillpoints Ultra SS adapter needed, help...

I just purchased 8 of the Stillpoints Ultra SS for my speakers.
My speakers are the Eggleston Works Andra II. They use a 3/8"-16 thread and the Stillpoints use a 1/4"-20 thread. Stillpoints can provide an adapter but only up to 5/8" long on the 3/8" side (speaker side) and the Andra II's looks to need about 1 1/2" long.

Do any of you know where I can purchase such an adapter or even what its called so I could search the internet?

Davehrab, Thanks I have looked at those. That item would work if it was about 1 1/2" long to reach the outside of the speaker.The problem is that my speakers have a very deep recessed bolt hole.

I replaced the original spikes that came on my Andra II's with Audio Points and even with those, Audio Points provided a 3/8-16 that is 1 1/2"long threaded stem to reach the tightner that is inside the speaker.
I'll try to take a picture and place it on my system page tonight.

Looking at your pictures and being unfamiliar with the Stillpoints. I am curious if the stud can be removed from the Stillpoints? If so the I would remove them and drill and tap the new holes to accept the 3/8" thread you need.
I think and adapters are going to eventual force the 1/4" stud to fail. Just my immediate impression upon looking at the pictures you posted.

Theo, Drilling into the Stillpoints does not seem to be an option. But, I agree with you the 1/4" thread size at the Stillpoints is a concern, my speakers weigh 215 lbs.
I wonder if I should drill a new hole in my speakers near the original made for a 1/4" thread? Then the shaft doesn't need to be too long.
