More leaf spring woes...

Put my new leaf springs on my 72 K20 with new ORD shackles and bushings. Definitely noticed something was wrong, like the spring eyes weren't wide enough. Looked at my old springs and found these spacers. They go between the bushing lip and the spring eye.

Funny thing is that only one side had them as the other side's leaf spring was 3" wide...so I don't have enough to reuse them, plus they are in bad shape. They are thick too, like 1/4".

I am guessing I have to make new ones out of pipe?
