Thin tubing is available. I did the same thing with some traxxas bellcranks.

Your Traxxas bellcrank mod is where I remembered seeing the tubing used. I tried out the Traxxas bellcranks and formed a tube out a thin piece of aluminum sheeting that roofers use around chimneys. Worked pretty good.

EDIT: Here's a quick pic of the spacer:

Still need to track down that thin tubing to do the bellcranks the right way, but here she is mostly finished. Will wire it up when I locate the orange Novak steering servo to match. Go to my gallery for several more pictures of the buggy.
