just had my frame chased and faced and a howitzer BB fitted. ive put on my crank arms and there is about 2mm of lateral play. do i need extra spacers on the BB? it has 2 drive side and 1 on the other!

The howitzer has the axle inside the BB doesn't it?
Is the BB new? There shouldn't be any lateral play on a BB with integrated axle as the spacers don't change where the axle sits.

My howitzer has very little play, could it be that facing the frame means you now need an extra spacer?

May end up putting a chain guide on anyway. Hopefully that will ilimimate movement.
Any recomendations? For a 10 speed 38 tooth
