AW sells spacers for $1.75 with the purchase of cells. You can also use a ball bearing like in this photo. IIRC you can even used appropriately sized nuts and bolts or a stack of coins tapped together. There are also some other things that can be used but I can't find the thread that had the different suggestions. I assume you can use anything conductive as long as it does not have a lot of resistance. I can't comment on the how well some of these improvised methods work, I just read about them. I personally use spacers from AW.

EDIT
Here's what Silverfox uses.
Here's a thread regarding coins.
