Rear Hub's Spacer: Gone

Ready to pounce at the red lights when I hear a slight clunk and realise, after glancing down, that my tyre is rubbing against the chainstay....the spacer on my cheap Ambrosio hub has evidently cracked and dropped off somewhere. Now I'm not sure if this can be replaced as it was or if I'll have to remedy it with some concoction of washers or other....

Anybody know if I can buy a new one or can suggest an alternative? This is the spacer that prevents the freewheel from running against the dropouts .

PS I'm running a singlespeed on an old frame; I think that i've had the spacer under too much pressure to hold it in place.

Thanks, Simon
Where\'s me jumper?

    Try your LBS, they usually have a pile of such parts in the workshop or you can simply get away with a stack of 10mm washers at a push.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
