I think you could make the spacers pretty easily with some 1/2" steel bar stock (the same width as the K member flanges) and a transfer punch the correct diameter for the bolt holes.
You will probably have $60 in materials by the time you are done though.
Four new grade 8 k-member bolts are going to be $10
Four new grade 8 rear mounting tab bolts are going to be $4
Three feet of 1/2" by about 2.5" hot rolled steel bar stock will be $30
Plus shipping if you don't get it local
These are all retail prices, maybe you can find them cheaper.

Look at the threads of the bolts U have in there now. If there is more than 1" sticking past the nuts, they shouldl be fine. When a bolt sticks through the nut more than the diameter of the bolt, that is the max clamping U will get. Having 2 inches more thread past won't make it stronger; just weigh more.
