Integrated Headset Spacer

Stevo C

Just received a new frame and forks in the post. Included was a headset - a Pro-Lite Ampezzo 1 1/8" Integrated Headset.

In the box was:

2 X Bearings
1 X Crown Race (split)
1 X Upper Race (split)
1 X Spacer
1 X Top Cap (for alloy steerers)

Where does the spacer go? Under the crown race if required, or should it always be fitted?

thanks

I think it would normally go between upper race and the top cap to ensure the bearing pre-load is applied correctly (ie to avoid the top cap compressing onto the frame), but without pictures, it is difficult to say

Thanks, will take a pic at lunch time and add it
