A note on the use of the spacers to get the spider in the correct position- I did use one, but such is the friction even when you have the pinch bolts backed off that it’s hard to get the spider parallel to the bearing it sits upon.
I was pretty careful but ended up with runout, so with it mounted on the bike I used the depth gauge end of my verniers and a small plastic faced hammer to gently check and tap the spider with the pinch bolts loosened until the vernier gave me 1mm all round.
