I find old alu tent poles work well, could also use chairing nuts, tooth floss dispenser spacers, copper pipe, piece of plywood... virtually anything that vaguely resembles a tube, has the strength and is the right size.

is there a more elegant solution?
Other spacer shops are available, it's a standard kind of component made in millions for industrial assemblies.

The allen key nuts from V-brake pads work quite well (if you need a spacer of that length obvs)

Are we talking this amount of space?

Spacing mudguards from a frame at the fixed point (under fork crown, rear bridge etc)
I could use lots of washers but is there a more elegant solution? Cutting some thin pipe to the right length?
