I wanted to replace the 3.5" floppy drive in my HP 8753D with a newer Teac FD-05HG 8848. The new drive was about 5mm narrower than the original. As a result it did not fit the HP drive tray. This spacer allows you to reuse the existing drive tray and also fills the gap in the front panel that would otherwise occur.
You will need to reuse the screws that mount the original drive. Don't lose them as they are an unusual M2.6 thread. You'll also need a M2.5 thread insert. I used McMaster-Carr 94180A321. I used a short M2.5 socket head cap screw to mount the spacer to the tray, but a countersunk screw would have been even better (I didn't have any handy).
