I think I saw a video where someone grinded the spacer down a bit to get it to fit..

Also is it ok to leave the other idler pulley bracket bolts off? They bottom out without the bracket.

Check this vid out @ the 9:20 mark! Might give visual help on how he got the spacer in. If you got the Z1 kit, then the supplied spacer should be a nissan part which is the correct dimension it needs to be (I would not suggest grinding as it can misalign the belt and run it off).

Also, OK to leave the idler pulley bracket/pulley off. saves a bit of weight (if you are into that weight savings territory) as I removed mine altogether (only put the bolts back in that fit without exposed threads)
