David,
I did just that recently. Took apart a 9s cassette and made an 8s out
of it using spacers from an old 8s casssette. I used the lock ring and
outermost 12t cog from the 8s cassette too since the outer cog on the
9 was 11t.
It works just fine.

A combination of pushing my bike up hill yesterday and the new 12-36
cassette in the latest Reader has me thinking...
Can I put "8 speed" spacers between the cogs of a nine speed
cassette and simply leave off the smallest cog? My current 8 speed
cassette is a 12-32 XTR (on a spider), and I'd love to get a 34 or
even 36 low. I would never need an 11T high, and very rarely use a
12T.
