Can I install the AWD driveshaft with large washers?

I'm trying to finish my car by tomorrow to drive it to the Shootout. I do not have the insulators and spacers that are suppose to hold up the driveshaft. I was wondering if I just used large washers to cover the holes in the brackets, if that would work... more as a temp. fix till I can have the time to get the right parts from the dealership. Also, is there any site that sells these? If I can't just get it bolted up, I may just run the AWD as a FWD for this weekend (I have the viscous eliminator, so my tranny should be fine...).

Do you mean for the carrier bearing? If that's it, it may just transfer more noise to the frame, which will be a lovely experience for a long drive.
Take the old bushings to the oldest NAPA shop in your town, talk to the oldest guy working the counter, and see if he knows of anything that's close enough to fake.

Well, this car doesn't have the bushings w/ it. So I guess I'll just use washers for now and get some ordered from mitsubishi. Have to be ready for the shootout....
