Very clever! I used some of those very small diameter but thick washers to get space, and then a large diameter washer, as shown in the plans, but this is a much more elegant solution.
This is what I did. It's made of .020 and is adequately strong - potential side loads on the bearing are small and quantifiable. I just could not imagine putting in something heavy where the weight wasn't needed.

Yeah, they take a minute to make. Not much longer, though. Hint, drill the hole first, then cut out the outline and deburr.
