78 and 105 mm, yes, here (on my spare alt).

There is an adjustment provided. 
The bush you call a spacer can be shifted inside the alternator lug.
Don't use a hammer, however, you will break the lug. 
I made a special tool to shift the bush.
I don't have any pics right now. 

The idea is to put a piece of pipe just outside the bush and then use a bolt 
and nut to exert force upon the bush.
