Default Rod End Spacers/Wolfe Rear Control Arms

I have a set of Wolfe's rear control arms, they have the offset spacers in them to space the control arm to the inside.

They fit fine at the car end, at the rear end side, the rear end has relocation brackets welded to it, so the arms don't fit tightly, there needs to be a bigger spacer on the rear end side of the control arm.

Can I purchase different length spacers to eliminate this problem?

Where to purchase?

You can have some made or just slide a washer on the outside of the alum spacers to take up the gap.

I thought about the washer deal, but it's a quarter inch gap

Washers will work just fine Chris. Just get the hardened ones.

washers or just buy some aluminum tubing with a 1/2" hole from a local metal shop and cut to length. Three 1/2" grade 8 washers should be more than 1/4" inch though and would work perfectly fine. FYI I have UMI LCA relocation brackets and my spacers and rod ends fit tightly.
