Default Power Steering Spacers (Pump to Bracket)

Working on a Supercharger project and can't find any Power Steering Spacers that go from the P/S Pump to the factory bracket. Most pumps use 3 spacers (guessing) about 3/8" tall.

Does anyone have some extra spacers from an old P/S pump laying around?

I could also use a factory "Hex Head" STUD that screws into the pump reservoir and goes thru the rear adjuster slot of the P/S Bracket.

Thanks.

Believe it or not, I found a suitable hex/threaded stud in the 'help' section of an auto parts store. There were three different lengths in the package. I think they were labled 'water pump bolts'.
I needed one originally for the thermostat housing/alt bracket deal and cut one down, ran a thread chaser over it and it worked fine.
When I later broke the ps pump stud, the second one came in handy. Even looks stock with black finish.
I think I've still got the third one. Can't remember the thread size on it right now (3/8-16?) but if you can't do any better, I'd gladly send it.
