i guess its just going to b trial and error the, just got pull the box off still see wot size is in it now

Well mines a 1.5 td Isuzu so you'll prob be running a different clutch to me. I would more than likely say the release baring is knackered and it hasn't been done recaintly. It's not an easy conversion to do and I can't see someone going to all that trouble and not making 100% sure the spacer was the right length. If its a Carlton box they've got a big hole the opposite side of where the fork goes in. You may be able to get enough acces through that to check.
