Im looking for a Cherry plate mount stabilizer that will fit a 6.25 space bar. I picked up a vintage WYSE terminal board that came with a whole bunch of the smaller cherry plate stabs but the space bar is a PCB mount cherry stab (and roughly 9ft long ...). I'm thinking I'm going to convert either my Phantom or Filco to cherry stabs (both ANSI 125).

GON and Feng have them I think. In fact, I received mine from GON last week.

Would you happen to have a URL for either seller? I checked GONs site but could only find PCB mount stabs and didn't find anything at all for feng.

Sorry, I meant IMSTO.
They are all in my Pearltree (http://www.pearltrees.com/#/N-fa=5497382&N-s=1_5506767&N-reveal=1&N-u=1_698670&N-p=110505614&N-f=1_5506767).
IMSTO (http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=55) and GON (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/stabilizers/18-pcb-mount-stabilizers.html).
And WASD (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keyboard-parts.html) has the plate mounted Costar stabilizers.
However, all of these can be used with plates as far as I know.

After doing some further investigation I'm not sure Cherry even makes a plate mount stab with a wire that will fit a 6.25 spacebar. I think I will either need to bend my own wire or buy one from someone who has made one. Can anyone confirm for sure?
-
Which stabilizers are you talking about right now? Costar or Cherry?
Because WASD has the Costar version and GON the Cherry one.

Cherry plate stabs, I already have costar on my boards and want to convert to Cherry like I said in the OP. Ive only been able to find part numbers on Cherrys site (http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/mx.htm) for 1x7, 1x8, 1x9, 1x10 sized cherry plate stabs and nothing for 1x6.25.

If I am not mistaken you could simply use the stabilizer wire from the pcb mounted ones. Those are a lot easier to source. But maybe someone else can chime in.

Strict, pm me if you're interested in some hand bent wires. And yes, you use the same wire for both cherry plate and pcb stabs

I just bought two SS 6.25 cherry stab wires from YUIOP, thanks anyways though!
