To make my spacer, I found I needed at least 5/16-3/8" to feel comfortable the belt wouldn't foul on anything. 3/8" was about the max before the footrests would interfere, as well. I tried some aluminum spacers, but they were really awkward to install individually, so I got a strip of 3/8" wide silicone rubber and a 5/16" cutting punch from McMaster and got craftsy, making a spacer that fits most of the way round the perimeter. There's a gap on the bottom/rear for now, but this got me round the block.

Once it was started, I used the punch to shape the inside to help it curve how I wanted from hole to hole. Looks rough from the inside but pretty good from the outside.
