Yes, T3 used to sell that kind of spacer in any size. However, I don't see it on their website anymore.

i didn't use a spacer at the bottom of mine.

inserted the shock cartridge i intended on using into the casing. took a dowel and put it in until it touched the top of the cartridge. marked the top of the casing on the dowel. i then added a millimeter or 2 to that.

then, i cut the length i marked on the dowel (+ the 1-2 mm i added to it) out of the casing starting an inch below where the threading for the gland nut ends and downward...etc...etc...
