what are those white plastic spacers that can (Could) be bought to

IIRC, called mounting frames.


Added, thanks. Just got the images to sort out now.

Thanks - I was trying to refer to one recently but didn't know the name
and couldn't find them.

Would you say that using one as a spacer for (say) a deeper accessory is
legitimate?


Yes - although you'll have to modify it somewhat. They have normal 2.5mm
fixing threads - so if you wish to put it between accessory and backing
box you'll need to drill them out. You may also need to remove the spare
'lugs' as these can interfere with some fittings.

It will look a bodge, though.
