103mm JIS BBs are fairly easily available. I just bought the Tange one from Velo solo for not very many notes with great service and speedy shipping. Shame your LBS did not know where to look.
But yes, a spacer should work, provided that there is then a good amount of thread left to screw on the freewheel. If the freewheel is hanging on by too little thread, you risk knackering the thread.
