After I changed the tires, I got enough grip and able to unleash more power from my 10.5T motor....it's fun for the first few packs until I break my front knuckle

For replacement, I bought the Alu. one but then I realized I lost "A8" part....
So I need to order A part (51527) eventually.
However I am thinking can I just use a washer/shim to replace A8, is it possible? Do anyone know the size? Thanks.
