jet mechanic, I was being too much of a perfectionist. You are right, coupling nuts will work just fine to hold the mirrors on while you evaluate the spacers.
If this project goes to the next level where these things are permanently mounted, standoffs could be ordered at that time.
These from McMaster-Carr should work:
The McMaster-Carr part number is 93020A775 and the description is:
Black-Oxide Steel Coupling Nut M6 Screw, 16mm Length, 13mm Width, 1mm Pitch
I did not get any ordered. I do have the spacers designed. I did not get them cut today. There will be a right and a left.

The counterbore is plenty deep.If you have enough "shoulder" room in the spacers to contain the couplers. A little blue locktite would be as good or better than lock/jam nuts.but how about threaded rod and coupling nuts?
I checked out that website, and their coupling nuts look like the hex to drive them is only in the middle.I found the correct sizes at metricmcc.com .
