Filling Gap Between Trailer Coupler/frame

I have a round piped trailer that I am placing a 3" wide channel coupler on. After the coupler is centered on the pipe, I have about 1/4" gap on each side of the pipe between the coupler and the pipe.

What can I use to close that gap up? I couldnt imagine using wood due to the weather.

What are some things you guys have used to fill that void?

    I'd either go get a round coupler instead, or weld some quarter inch plate toe the pipe to fill the gap and add some support.

    what about adding a few washers to each side to tighten the gap?
