Default Spacer plates for the head

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone knows of a place that makes spacer plates for the RS Turbo?

My problem is that my head has been skimmed too much and I need a spacer plate to correct this problem.

Cheers
Dave

Be better off starting again with another cylinder head, the more gaskets/plates between the block/head will just be asking for problems/failiures
