As a side note, I'm going to start a quest for that perfect spacer. If I find something that works really well for me I'll share.

I'm thinking something like this:

Father in law works at a machine shop. If I can get his ear I was actually thinking of creating basically a single piece hard gasket of sorts to give a nice fit that would be really easy to work with/install
If I have some extra time (not likely) I can punch something out in CAD and print it on our high-end 3D printer (material is like ABS). The link you sent would be an ideal solution and is what I could use to model up for the 8ight. As an alternative an expensive mold a waterjet could be used to cut these parts outta a sheet of CF.
