Hi thanks for your reply, yes got the spacers under and over the stem and there's at least a 5mm gap for the plug to pull in the fork tube up. The cone is in there too, it does seem a bit slack around the steerer tube though, although I suppose it's intended to then compress inwards around the tube when squeezed by the top nut.....l
