Not sure I can help but I have used McMaster-Carr for odd ball items that I have had a tough time locating.

Smoke, on my Mitchell, I used short cut sections of a1 type fuel line, I just cut it about 1/4 inch long, the a1 one fuel line is thicker than normal fuel line, so it does a better job as a spacer.

Just did the same type fix on my buddys kencraft "challenger" we used the small black washers from home depot in the plumbing section. They don't feel Luke the quite a rubber material there stiffer. They worked perfect. Just an idea.

Just be careful when mounting your windshield. Too much torque and you'll crack the Plexiglas around the mounting hole like we see in the first picture. Whenever I've had to mount plexi to anything I prefer a softer material (like hard rubber) that has a certain amount of "give" for just that reason.
