The pictures show three things:
1. The square holes that the mountings go into. 2. The top and bottom
side of the steel mountings. 3. The top and bottom sides of the nylon
(?) mountings.
I find myself to really need the steel mountings to be able to mount
the bus converter, I am hopeful that I can move a couple of existing
nylon ones.
Ah, thanks for saving me the trouble of digging out my own 6300.
The exact nylon standoffs might be a bit difficult, but the metal parts
could easily be replaced with plain old threaded hex standoffs. The
original metal standoffs are press-fitted into place and my guess that
they'll be difficult to find, even if you do own an appropriate press
The great thing is that the holes for both types are recessed on the
bottom, so that getting a good mounting using a washer-head machine
screw should be no problem. I've got bags of aluminum hex standoffs of
various sizes and find them to be invaluable. Jameco also offers a
somewhat more limited selection.
Here's Mouser's 578 pages of standoff choices:

So maybe not original, but close enough functionally.
