I have some for Sachs (Maillard) or Sun Tour. If you need either you can email me by going to the Chain-L site (don't PM me here). Another source might be Yellow Jersey in Madison, and if you search for vintage freewheels, you might find other sources.

i ask this because the former can be very freewheel specific whereas the latter are pretty generic.

you can use the shimano 10 spd ones that go behind the cassette about ~1mm thickness. also bb spacers 2.5mm. i know i collect them and hand them out as needed. i like it when they have food in there hand when walking in, not necessary but preferred. hint hint

Well, that's easy. They're cheap and readily available in several thicknesses:
