The GDC might not agree with you: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=16853
However, you can make spacers and/or standoffs out of allowed material. Aluminum would be allowed under <R92G> but steel would not be.
If you come with store-bought, non-tetrix, steel standoffs, you may not pass inspection.
