Ric--

BusDepot.com and GoWesty.com    have spacers to give the crank a little more
clearance.

I have some spacers that I got from another vendor that  think offer a little
more clearance than the kit from these vendors, but for the life of me I
can't remember the vendor I got mine from. It was a vendor for hopped up parts for
Golfs as I recall. Maybe someone can recall.

I don;t have any experience with the Go Westy or Bus Depot spacers. Just
passing along the information.

From the catalogues the following is the pertinent information. I think the
clearance works out to the same wich is relatively slight, but maybe enough.


Go Westy part # GVW-SPACERKIT   $35  added clearance: 7mm


Bus Depot part # 155898595        $27   added clearance: 9/32"

Best,
