Jeff,
With my Classic I was originally supplied with 42mm long spacers and AN5-41
bolts. Europa have since changed these dimensions to 46mm spacers and
AN5-42 bolts, the reason being to compress the rubber mounts less in order
to allow a little more engine vibration dampening.
I suggest it would probably be best to measure your spacers and fit the
corresponding bolt. As far as the number of washers is concerned, I imagine
the minimum required to obtain the desired offset of the engine would be the
way to go but I would check with John Hurst or Nev Eyre at Europa to be sure
if I were you.
Regards and Best Wishes to All for the Festive Season
