You can use 5/16 ID steel tube (Or whatever diameter the bolt's thread is) or you can simply use a few steel washers.

I would call Tony and ask for the longer spacer as it is a "kit" ready to fit, right?

yea just read my "advice" and its not much of an advice at all, so sorry. But in all seriousness if yours is a standard mini mounting and the kit doesnt fit I'm sure that the seller who I believe advertises on here and seems very proffesional will be very interested in making this work for you and demonstrating that his kits are easy to fit for everyone. wouldnt he?
