Default 3mm spacers - where from?

I need some 3mm spacers to fit my new brakes properly, any ideas where from?

I was told to go to Halfords but they say they dont stock 'em?

Cheers fellas, managed to get some 5mm ones from Halfords in the end, one branch did tell me they must be a new thing and perhaps they would be out in their next range Thanks for your help on the road now

1mm spacers??!!

I don't know of any hub-fitting spacers that aren't made in multiples of 5mm, but obviously you've sorted it now.
