Hi Ralph,
Here's how I mounted the Gretz pitot controller PC board on my RV-8. Worked pretty good:

For the mounting of the 'Gretz' pitot heat controller, I thought of using
long screws (attach bolts), with alloy 'stand off' tubes which should solve
the problem you are encountering.
Check out one or two of the builders web sites there are many options out
there.
