Does Vanguard do mini medal mounting?

I looked but can't find anything on their website. I'm thinking of ordering a set of mini medals (USAF and CAP mixed) but don't see anything about having them mounted. I don't want to do that myself if I can help it. Am I missing something?

When I put together my USAF Mess Dress, I bought one of these. You can slide the medals onto the bar, the same way you do with ribbons.

Does that give you the proper overlap? Or is there an overlap with 4 mini-medals. I only have three for my AD rack, and never bothered for my CAP stuff because I have nowhere to wear it.

I seem to recall someone telling me that the ribbons on CAP medals are cut to a different length than AF ones, but I don't know that for sure.

What I do know is that my AF medals have the correct overlap.

They did a few years ago. I had a problem with the length, took them apart and shortened the ribbon to match the length of my military ones.

All my military medals are the same length, regardless of service. The CAP mini medals were different lengths entirely, and no one CAP medal was the same length as any other CAP medal. I found that a bit sad, and a little annoying.
