Put it back together and doesn't seem to be a lot of room to play with between inner ring and frame , definitely no more than 5mm .It seems like a hard one to call as the way the cottered crank fits on the spindle doesn't make for an easy conversion .I'm going to order the square taper crank that matches the teeth on the cottered crank and go with its recommended Spindle length with fingers crossed .
