Ah of course. There's probably 20mm of spacer on there now so one with a little more stack should be fine too.
This is exactly why I was asking. I knew there was something like this. Cheers
PhilDAS-
The red one with flat bars? With those spacers you needn't worry about the stack of the replacement.
Stronglight A9 is a safe bet with a period vibe.
It so happens I have a Record HS going spare for only a couple of pounds more...

You can add spacers to make a lower stack height one fit, you can't subtract spacers if the new one has a higher stack than what you already have. For that, you'd need negative shims :)
There are two sizes of crown race too, you should have an ISO 26.4mm one, so beware of 27.0mm JIS headsets.
