Just fitting a Shimano MT8000 BB to a V3 Bronson. Does anyone know how many spacers go on which side? There are no instructions as such in the box.

I've gone with 1 on the DS as gap between the crank arm and rear triangle was less than the NDS. I'm thinking it might need 2 to equal it out more.

Last BB was an uberbike GPX with 1 on the NDS

Depends on shell width.
See

Thanks but it's a Raceface crankset. Does the same apply?

Yep, the same with a RF crankset.
68mm shell width: 2x spacers DS, 1x spacer NDS.
73mm shell: 1x spacer DS, 0x spacers NDS.

If you're not sure on the shell width you can use a normal ruler - as long as 0 is lined up properly you can tell which side of the 7cm mark it is.

Cheers both.

It's a 73mm BB shell so 1x on DS and none on the NDS
