Etec Prop Nut Spacer

I just got a new Solas SS prop for my 2006 Etec 150. It had an aluminum prop on it (maybe OEM). The hub on the AL was 3/4" shorter than the hub on the new SS prop. I am needing a 3/4" Spacer nut. I think this is what I need.. but ? I can't find anywhere that Identifies the thickness of the spacer...

Phil,
I too checked some of the cross referenced spacers and could not come up with any specs. Based on the photo, I'm guessing the thickness will be closer to 3/8 thick than 3/4 inch. If this is not enough any brass or stainless shimming washers (machinery bushings) should be fine, stacked between this spacer and the nut. Meaning the washers would not need to engage the splines. Just need to fit ID and OD properly. These are steel, might get rusty. not sure if that would be an issue but personally I'd prefer brass or stainless.
 
Solas sells hub kits, including spacers, for their props. They are different than BRP bronze spacers, I think they are plastic.
