I made my own "washers" for my car. I cut 2 discs out of a piece of 1/4" plate steel with a holesaw. Can't remember the diameter, but probably about 1/4" to 1/2" larger than the hole in the spring mount. Then I had a machine shop cut a "lip" into the washers so they would fit inside the hole but not go all the way through. This pic isn't my car, but gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.....
