If you can't get some nicely turned ally shims you could try either a thick stack of washers or a simple square/rectangular ally block of suitable thickness drilled to suit the mounting bolts.

Stainless washers work a treat, as you dont get that problem with the plating on ordinary washers being 'slightly less than perfect'
