AERO on this site sells the Silverhawk line. I bet you can get one from them. Seems most made their own. This Post states Van's supplied a thin one in a kit form.

I am at that stage in my RV9A and I have a 1/4 inch phenolic spacer supplied by Van's with the VA-182 control linkage bracket. It set the SilverHawk injection servo at the correct height for my vertical induction IO-320. This was of course dependent on the position of the FAB box assembled and mounted on the engine servo (which is another long story). This was aligned with lower cowl with proper intake scoop (O-360) that had been placed in its permanent mounting position with the cowling attach mounting plates in place for the MilSpec rceptacles.

Talk with Don at Airflow Perormance
I needed one and spoke to Don at Airflow Performance. He cautioned me to ensure my spacing stackup with my cowl would work with the spacer (some times a problem with the stock cowls) At times it's an easier fix to change out the studs on the manifold. In the end, i had him make me a spacer, which was fairly inexpensive and provided quickly. Don has given me plenty of expert advice already, so I felt good seeing him some money for a part I knew I could have built.
YMMV,
