Yes there is a spacer you need to get machined up, my mate had one done for his conversion, ill ask him if he has a drawing or some dimensions.

Well mines a 1.5 td Isuzu so you'll prob be running a different clutch to me. I would more than likely say the release baring is knackered and it hasn't been done recaintly. It's not an easy conversion to do and I can't see someone going to all that trouble and not making 100% sure the spacer was the right length. If its a Carlton box they've got a big hole the opposite side of where the fork goes in. You may be able to get enough acces through that to check.
