Whenever I am hit with one of those type of projects, I go to my local "not Big Orange or Big Blue" hardware store.  If you are lucky enough to have an Ace or a True Value (or even luckier, a small independent) they will have thousands of options in a couple of aisles of bins (stainless/brass/copper/nylon you name it) and usually sell individual units, not packs of 50. - john

For under spool shims , I make them from plastic and/or aluminum containers .
