Ceramic standoff/spacer...
 

Old GE range bake element standoff shattered -- it's a ceramic of ~5/8"
OD, 13/16" L w/ a 3/16" hole in which a little prongie off the metal
foot of the element sits. It is, apparently NLA from GE and doesn't
come w/ new bake element so I'm left w/ only one of two to hole the
element off the floor of the oven.

I've had no success on finding much close; anybody here have any ideas?
Doesn't have to be identical; two matching for the purpose would do.

Best I've come up with is from Digikey/Newark that are 1/2" OD, 3/4" L
but they're threaded for a #6 machine screw for board standoff purposes
and that's smaller ID hole than will work w/o some modifications.

If anybody's got any ideas (or has a 80's-90s vintage old range might
take a look and see if can spare :) )....

Only local repair guy doesn't have any in his collection of stuff which
was surprising.

To state the obvious, have you simply tried looking at one of the big
online appliance parts suppliers? Go to google and search for 'online
appliance parts' (without the quotes) and try a few. I'm sure that somebody
has on -- at least I've never been able to stump all of them for obscure
parts although the prices can seem painful sometimes.

If you can get the part number for that part, I'd try Googling the part number to see if anyone still has them for sale online.

When I was a kid in government school, we used to
fire pottery in the art class. Wonder if you have
someone around who does pottery, and can throw and
spin and dodge, parry, thrust, and fire one for
you (Daffy Duck music inserted).
