 :) Yes.Try the Hope bottom bracket spacers (1mm) from CRC,same dims as Shimano/freewheel hubs.Can be awkward as EX-type BBs are designed to be used with cassette hubs & MTB cranks have a different chainline to BMXs.

 Try removing the 2.5mm spacer on the drive side of the BB & use 2 x1mm spacers instead & another 1mm spacer on the non-drive side.

? Any pics? Normally there should be 2 x 2.5mm plastic BB spacers on the non-drive side and 1 x 2.5mm on the drive side.Also maybe 1 or 2 1mm axle washers between the ends of the BB bearing & the arms if needed.

You used to get a freewheel spacer with some brands of power disk bitd, the ones where the chainring bolts to the outside face.

Maybe try a decent old type bike shop :-\

you could try a thinner cone locknut on the freewheel side.

You tried running a powerdisc with the chainwheel on the inside Greg?
Why oh why do I still buy kids bikes!
