No need to get the screwdrivers out, and I was curious anyway. I tried to fit one of those plastic 4mm spacers into the "rear suspension hanger" (part 330344). The plastic spacer is just a fraction too big. Less than a minute with a needle file to chamfer one side, and I managed to get it to fit. The hinge pin is not as snug in there as with the original part (you can see the gap in one of the photos below), but it would be fine to use in an emergency.
