This is the solution I've been looking for when it comes to shortening the drawbar on a few of my 3rdrail engines that need isolation from ground due to the tender shell being the TMCC antenna.  Thanks John.

In this case the post on the tender is on the frame which should be isolated from the body already. You can use fiberglass but it not really needed.

Any old PC board would work here. In my case I probably have enough copper clad board to tile a gymnasium.

On older 3rdrail engines like my Niagara, the frame is not isolated.  There's a plastic grommet in the drawbar keeping the tender from grounding out which is glued in.  Instead of finding a substitute for this grommet I'll just build a new drawbar to the spacing I want.
