Maybe I'm missing something, but is the Sheldon nut just being used as a spacer? If so, just get a nylon or aluminum spacer/bushing from the hardware store to space the light out from the rack. An M5 bolt should be fine; a washer under the bolt head wouldn't be a bad idea. And, maybe a nylock nut on the bolt, so you can leave things just loose enough to adjust the light on the road.
bolt head > washer > light > spacer > rack > nylock nut or run the bolt through from the inside nylock nut < washer < light < spacer < rack < bolt head Or, did you have other tricks in mind?
