Default windshield spacers

I'm in the process of changing out a Memphis Shades with a HD windshield I picked up cheap, but it came with no hardware. I thought I'd be ok using the spacers off the nine mounting holes from the Memphis Shades unit but they're too large. I've been searching old threads and online for spacers, grommets, etc., but can't find what I need. I'd appreciate any helpful input.

Will check out Grainger. The Fastenal near me decided they're only going to sell in bulk to industry. Sucks.

The Mcmaster site is by FAR easier to navigate

Went to the hardware and got some 3/8" round, 1/8" thick nylon spacers that I'll need to drill a bit for the bolts to fit through. 18 cents each. Will cut some rubber gaskets from an old bicycle inner tube for shock mounting. Should work just fine. Nothing like saving a few bucks.
