Also found that my local True Value hardware store sells nice aluminum spacers just a quarter inch thick with an ID that fits a 5mm rack bolt perfectly. I've use them as mentioned, and also as fender spacers at the chainstay bridge. Had to use them on the front fork recently to mount fenders when I noticed interference with the p-clips and the fork. They worked great.
