Here's some material offered by McMaster-Carr I've been thinking about 
using for SRSG rotors. It might be good for this type of gap too, maybe. ;)
     
A 1/2" thick, 12" x 12" square is $12.54 
     
Electrical Grade Fiberglass (GP03)
Color: Opaque red
Temp. Range: 0° to 400° F
Tensile Strength: Excellent
Enhanced electrical insulation properties and a flame-resistant additive 
make this material ideal for electrical applications. It is a glass 
fiber-reinforced polyester. Material meets UL-94V0 standards.
Impact Strength: Excellent
Excellent electrical insulator
Use indoors
Easy to machine
     
Notice that the temperature goes to 400° F, and it's listed as easy to 
machine.
     
Other specifications:
     
Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi
Impact Strength: 8.2 ft.-lbs./in.
Dielectric Strength: 400 V/mil
Tracking Index: 500 volts
Durometer: Barcol 50
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 2.010 -5 in./in./°C
Weather Resistance: Material is not weather resistant. Resin will break 
down over long periods of exposure to the outdoors.
     
Processing--
     
Machinability: Can be easily machined. Can be cut with a hacksaw, diamond 
grit saw blade, and carbide tip saw blade. Holes are easily created using 
conventional drill bits and milling bits. A dust mask and gloves should be 
worn when working on this material.
Welding: Not recommended.
Scratch Resistance: Moderate.
Chemical Resistance: Use with mild detergents. Do not use with strong acids.
