Default where to get spacers for the old motorsport coilovers?

I am installing some used Koni Motorsports. I have the rear installed but I think I need some spacers. Two came with each rear shock (enough to do one bolt). I put them on the upper bolt, but the lower mount bolt seems to need them as well. Am I supposed to use them on the bottom and put no spacers on the top mount bolt or do I need to order more spacers? If so, from where?

Default These guys rebuilt a set for me last spring...

and fabbed a set of lower spacers for the rears to replace the poorly designed ones that come with the shocks. Not a perfect solution ( 1/2" O.D. x 12 mm I.D. tubing to mount the new 1/2" I.D. spacers to the 1/2" I.D. spherical bearing using the stock 12 mm bolt), but still better than the original.

Not using spacers will probably yield unsatisfactory results.

Bruce was my contact point.
