I've heard of guys drilling holes in hockey pucks and using them for spacers.

Stan,

I think people do that to lift the tub.  In this case I am lowing the transmission cross member.

Lowering the transmission cross member is a potentially ugly thing because lots of things move down in the back and up in the front.  I am currently in denial about the up in the front - Will the fan now hit the shroud?  Down in the back - what will that do to the clutch linkage.

I lowered my cross member in my 3b 1" when I did a t-18 swap.  I also moved the clutch pivot cross bar down the same amount and re drilled the frame for the two mounting bolts.  It worked great.

I think I got my threads mixed up. Angry

Moving the transmission cross member down 1 inch to accommodate the Ramsey Twin Stick PTO appears to have little noticeable change in the fans blades relation to the fan shroud.  It still has at least 1 inch of clearance all the way around.
