To be honest, if its a simple washer you want to take up the gap then a regular M10 washers should suffice. A2 Stainless if you want to be posh. Any car accessory shop will carry a standard plated washer but you'd probably have to find a fixings company for the stainless jobbies.

Or, pm me your address and I'll post you a couple out

I got my mate who works at an engineering firm to make some for me out of stainless steel pipe, he did them just the right size so they just show when the nut is against them and he bead blasted them and then polished the outside edges. 

When he showed them to me I got double excited, it was then I realised I had a problem

simple 10mm washers can be bought from B&Q or Wicks for about £2 a bag!  i've used em on my old school bike for a few years and they're fine
