Hi Frank,
I solved the problem by using one spacer at both sides, put 4 short leads
from used glass diodes in the spacer, with the diffuser diode leads at the
other end. Press the spacer to the diffuser and solder with as little tin as
possible. Now you have 4 long leads. Mount the assembly, not putting the
leads through the second set of spacers, as this will not fit. Use the other
spacers to get the right distance between the first spacers and the pcb.
Just hold them somewere in the middle between the extended diode leads and
solder at the bottom. Then remove the second set of spacers. Worked fine
with me.
