Abstract
A spacer element serving to obtain a spacer washer positioned between first and second parts of an assembly. The spacer element includes a body having the same geometry as the spacer washer that is to be obtained and a circular score line whose diameter is equal to the internal diameter of the spacer washer that is to be obtained, this score line being configured to break upon insertion of a shank of a connection element, and a centering pad configured to center the score line with respect to the through-orifices of the first and second parts that are configured to accommodate the shank of a connection element when the centering pad is inserted into one of the through-orifices.
