Alternator shims?

Does anyone know where to get the spacer thing that goes in the alt mount hole? Or a part number? It looks like a valve guide, and slides into the mount and alt to fill the gap in the mount hole.

in a pinch some people have used a 1/4" pipe from a hardware store and cut it to length.
