That missing spacer might allow your alternator to move forward and aft slightly little during operation and cause your alignment to change, belt squeal, etc.
Might be something you want to check into.
Alternator looks really nice though!

Had to do that with my boat when I first got it. The PO had changed the alternator but no spacer. I used a piece of pipe that I painted. I plan on having my brackets, and that spacer, anodized this year. Now that I think about it, I think I used a 1/2" drive deep impact socket to run it in the driveway at first.
