    Heck. a few fender washers can do that.  Get grade 8's.

    I do not like the idea as the shock mounts have a lot of surface area to spread the shock movements.  You could also make a plate that matches the shock mount footprint.

    Any hardware store should have some. Or ebay. Or McMaster-Carr

    Most stress on shock bolts is in tension, so they don’t need to be very strong.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Look in fastener section at lowes or ace.  You can find them in those plastic boxes ...we could call it the hardware jewelry boxes. Usually find cabinet hardware nearby or in same section.

    Re: who makes those little 1/2 inch spacers?

    I would buy a piece of aluminum plate and drill five holes in it. Shoot I had 13 leaf springs in the front of my corn binder and 5" steel tubes for blocks in the rear, they dont make lift kits for 55 internationals. You can make anything you want or need. Just takes a little time, but time is cheap.

    Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW
