You won't need longer thread if the shouldered portion is longer - 'coz you won't need the spacer if the shoulder moves it out that far. Also don't see how that helps you with the other 3 fixing points that you're also going to need to space off the frame.
There are sources for domed & countersunk "finishing" washers off-the-shelf - and countersunk stainless bolts available in a surprising (and quite pleasing) selection of lengths. Bar stock spacers & washers readily available or easily adapted with hand tools.
Doesn't seem like any real need for one-off machining. Although I often pine for access to a mid-size lathe or mill....
