My 8-speed chain is 7,2mm wide and a 10-speed chain is 6,1-6,2mm wide. From this I would expect the spacers should be about 0,5mm thick.
I expect I can't be the first one to have done this, anybody with experience?
Thanks

It will work fine even without the spacers. But if you're anal about the spacing, try this

btw, you would need to change your bottom bracket to a Campy too
