Is £5.30 Ok for back shock spacers

I saw them on a link somewhere here, it's a company called mayad (I know that's wrong but something like that) it's just a small ally plate that slips round the shock bolt/mount....Are they cheaper than that, is it to much. I'll check what washers I've got too or the local ironmonger will have them ...

I though the front tyre was a bit flat then thought head bearings were overtight ...
