    If you can hang off buying anything until you can try mine on Thursday - I'm sure there's some 2x 4mm spacers in the garage can try and see exactly what spacers you need !

    bit wide though and look to have tapered bolts - worth popping a question across to them ?

    Worth measuring up to see how much?
