I've never known a K/20, or K/10, to come from factory with a spacer or a shim. I have never had to add a shim. Chances are real good your's won't need them either. Got any diagram pictures to show what you think is a spacer? Could it be the nylon anti-squeek pad, about as thick as a piece of paper? They are usually shot and I just toss them. I have noticed no ill effect from them being gone. I figure if they were needed the spring companies would supply them.
