I could do with an extra half inch on the stock length and wonder if there 
is an off the peg spacer I can get and fit between the wood and the recoil 
pad. A search hasn't reveled any and I am not sure I want to go down the buy 
one and shape it yourself route!

A friend of mine used an off cut of beech, which he cut down to size 
with his "jig" saw, and finished of with his grinder & sand paper.
The way he did it was to use the butt plate as a stencil and cut his 
beech to the required thickness and then to a rough shape, finishing off 
on the grinder and then using the sand paper to do final adjustments.
There is a slight colour difference, but my guess is that if he had 
taken a little time mixing and matching he could have blended the spacer 
  with the stock.
All in all, once you have  the wood, which only cost the price of asking 
for it, it will only take you a Sunday afternoon.

My friend attached the whole lot, using longer screws.

Another option is one of those leather boots that fits on the stock. About 
20. I have one for my SBS.

Be careful though - if left on in either bright sunlight or (as I found) 
when stood in gunracks whilst waiting for traps to be fixed in the rain 
you may find discolouration of your stock results - either darker under 
the leather or a line where the moisture collects at the edge.

Luckily in my case when I got my gun fitted the wonderful Mr Godfrey 
sanded and polished the stock down and a better-than-factory-new 
unblemished finish resulted.
