Alternative to 9608 blue spacer

Really haven't been able to find any Associated FT Rear Axle Wheel Spacers, at least reasonably.
Yep, a 2mm washer will work but it isn't too pretty and doesn't have a taper to prevent rubbing the outer portion of the bearing.
So I bought Durango TD714002 wheel cone spacers. $4 plus shipping. Way cheaper than the last pair of 9608s I bought.
The Durangos are not 2mm thick like a 9608 but 1.5mm. Slightly smaller in diameter but the center hole fits on the 3/16 axle perfect.
Anno is gold but looks OK.
Schumacher has a Rear Wheel Cone Washer in black anno but haven't tried it.
