Before i get lynched i did search and did not find an answer

I am installing an aussie in my 77 F150 D44 #14430 and my clearance to the cross shaft is to tight. My thrust washers measure .029" on both sides. And my carrier is new (3.92+ carrier). I called the dealer and the thrust washers are now obsolete. I called a local 4wd speciality shop and was told they did not make different thickness washers so their no thinner washers available. Anybody got any idea where i could pick-up a pair of thrust washers or what i can do to remedy my problem?

from what I understand you need to get the spacers machined down....
