A Machine shop can turn down just the amount you need from Your white spacer and have the cut square
How about carbon spacers and paint them white Yourself?
New and interesting adventure about this situation. I brought the spacer to a local machine shop and ask if they could either grind it down or cut it down. Since the inside of the spacer is straight, he suggested putting the spacer on the lathe to cut out how ever mm I want. The gap as of now is about 4mm. SO I ask the mechanic if he could cut out about 2 to 3mm. The mechanic said he will cut 2.5mm. I asked if they can be that precise. The mechanic said yes. He also said that it is quite a easy job and he can make sure the cut is flat and I won't even notice it.
I will update the forum tomorrow when I get the spacer back. Hope this will work out. Finger crossed.
