Equal-i-zer says in the document you provided... 'We recommend using a shim made from a durable material such as steel or hardwood.'
That includes a lot of materials! An aluminum plate as a shim might be better than either wood or steel (more durable and no rust).
Another alternative might be a metal tube of the appropriate thickness and length over one (or both) of the bolts as a spacer between the two plates.
The shim is under clamping forces only. The drawing in their document may be accurate, but could have been made more helpful.
