correct size spacers for heel adjust neck

[DaRK_CaRNiVaL]

I am trying to find some spacers for my Fender MIM 50's P neck to get a few extra turns.

I took my nut into a big local hardware store and they didn't have anything that was the right size.. the 3/16" spacers has the right sized hole for my nut but were too wide overall.. I would have bought them but I don't have a grinder to grind them down to size. Does anyone have an idea of what sized spacer to use? That way I can hopefully ring around some joints to find that specific size. This is for the heel adjust neck btw.

Back in the day (when I didn't have a grinder either) I used a mill file to hand-file washers/spacers to the right size for my truss rods. You'll probably break a sweat if you have a lot of material to remove, but it doesn't take an excessively long time. You might even save time by filing a spacer by hand instead of spending the time it may take to go to a lot of different suppliers until you find the right size.

Oh yeah, you'll almost definitely want a little vice to hold the space while you file though...

that is actually a pretty good idea even though I need to get the tools.. one I will probably take up if nobody knows the magic number :P
