A single or twin spacer mounting permits the rapid and efficient installation of elongated elements for example in an aircraft. Such elements include, for example, electrical cable bundles, pipes, hoses, cables and the like, whereby these elongated elements must be maintained at a precise spacing from one another and/or from a support. Additionally, the elongated elements may need to be arranged at an angle relative to each other. For this purpose, substantially identical interlocking spacer mounting members are used. Each spacer mounting member has a saddle to which the elongated element is secured, for example, by a cable binder or hose clamp. The saddle is connected to an interlocking section that either includes a female plug-in socket or a male plug. In another embodiment interlocking pins with locking heads are used to hold two identical spacer mounting members to each other. Such a structure is able to hold the elongated elements at a precisely defined spacing and/or angle relative to each other without any damage, for example, to the insulation of electrical conductors.
