As I said, I've become a junkie for Acorn leather washers.  

Here is the leather washer spacing between the front dropout lug and long 
rack stay

and a novel use for them - on the Bell 11 from Rivbike, it dampens out 90% 
of the road shock rings, and makes a nice bridge for your thumb

To adjust fender spacing on my daughter's bike, I used a long M5 and a 
stack of spacers with a long M5 going into the bottom bracket boss

And attaching stays to frame bosses, it absorbs misalignment, distributes 
the contact stress, and as it compresses it becomes a lock washer

and of course the obvious spot on a fender stay

apologize for the welded aluminum frame, but my daughter is riding 20 miles 
and climbing hills on her Nexus 8 - with a slight modification - I reduced 
her front chainwheel to 42 and increased her rear sprocket to 26, keeping 
the same chain length and turning her bottom two gears into tree climbers. 
 She still hasn't been into the top two gears, but she'll eventually want 
to go faster.
