One off-the-wall idea is to tear apart an old freewheel, if you have
one. There is a screw-on cover on the "nose" end, which, when unscewed,
gives you access to those 6-million little ball bearings inside, and the
pawls and springs. You will not be able to put this particular
Humpty-Dumpty back together again. But there are spacers on that cover
that might well be the right size. They are very thin, too, so you can
adjust to suit.
No guarantees, but maybe it's worth a shot. Certainly cheaper than
Campagnolo brand spacers, if they did exist.
