My question was also regarding the spacer above the stem, am I correct in assuming there should be a spacer?
Yes, life is much better if the steerer passes all the way trough the stem, so you need a spacer if you use a conventional top cap. It doesn't need to be much, so if you find a 2.5mm spacer you can trim the steerer even more and use that instead of the 5mm one you have at the moment.

Thanks
I wouldn't know re: manufacturer recomendations, as the fork came with the frame, and both of them were produced in China... However you may have a point re: setup, as the plug came with the head set with the frame. My question was also regarding the spacer above the stem, am I correct in assuming there should be a spacer?
Thanks for the offer on those caps, I'll give it a thought :)
