take the stem off, fit the spacers and stem aa you want them then use that to mark off where you'll cut. then check again, and again. then take it apart, make sure you've got the right line, then check again, then cut. I've cut through a brand new pair of forks without checking enough and rendered them trash. It's an expensive mistake so don't guess anything.

Thanks - that sounds very sensible.

In case you haven't thought of it and you want to ride it straight away, just check you have whatever you need to replace that conical spacer - i.e. is it simply a spacer or is it a headset bearing cover? Not always super easy to find something that's the right fit if the latter.
