I’m working on an Air Skipper 50. On the blade grips, they tend to pinch down towards the blade and it doesn’t look right to me, it leaves a noticeable gap. When tightened, shouldn’t the blade grips be parallel to the mounting plate on the blade? The kit calls for 14mm blades and I have 12mm. There are two rubber washers in the grips but there not thick enough and they don’t clamp down square. Do I need to get 14mm thick blades or can I use spacers here? Can I make them from a common material or do I need to order a set?

Thanks.
