Personally once you've found the correct spacing I would definitely be looking for one with the spigot ring fitting
The spacers were able to move fractionally on the loosely done up bolts but it was so slight and I thought that, being aluminium, the eccentric mass wouldnt cause a problem...... it obviously did.
