If I understand it right, cutting off the spacer and adding a 1" rubber pad would work. Why not cut it off, add a plastic or metal plate that looks right, and use a slip on rubber pad for the correct length? I use to put on 1 or 1 1/2" pads from CS for the correct length. Then found out they were a bit long in the winter. Now I just use leather or rubber slip on pads. I even made up some 1/8" leather spacers that go in the pads to fine tune them for length.
