Default ID1000 fuel rail spacers necessary?

I've had some ID1000 injectors in for about 500 miles, and with the stock plastic spacers, the fuel rail sits high enough so that the blue o-ring on top of the 2 middle injectors is showing a bit. (see picture) I contacted Injector Dynamics, and the guy couldn't give me a definite answer what I should use. On an S2000 forum, they mentioned using a few steel washers in there, but Injector Dynamics told me the S2000 is different than my application. I have a B16A head, Skunk 2 Pro manifold, Edelbrock fuel rail. I'm concerned that this is a fuel leak waiting to happen. What should I use?

These are what I used on mine to get the perfect fit

McMaster-Carr

Edit: McMastercarr makes it a bitch to share stuff. But search for Aluminum spacers, "For Screw Size M6" and you'll get a good list.

Thank you! Do you remember the outside diameter?

13mm OD is the only option with M6 size. But it fits perfect.

I see that, thank you. I just placed an order, but I may have ordered the wrong thickness. Do you remember that as well?

These are the choices. I ordered 3 of the 4mm, and 3 of the 6mm.

My injectors were a bit taller so I ended up with 10mm I think

Great, thanks again. You've been a huge help. I guess I can stack the 4 and 6 together, if necessary.

I have the skunk2 ultra manifold and aem fuel rail, I first test fit with the factory spacers, which did not fully seat the injector, I removed them and used nothing.....

ID injectors are pretty short it seems to work well in this configuration for me.
