The spacer you're after, is that one of the 1.85mm ones? I bought a bunch of them a while back so I can definitely spare one.
I might have a steel locking too. I'll check what I've got tomorrow.

8 spd, a man after my own heart

i presumed the lock rings were alloy?

Funny, I read lockring differently.

Sweet thanks
I will see if I can find the spec of the spacer I need - I have one on the cassette now was hoping avoiding pulling it off to check - Longer version below

So long version - I got the cassette and put the spacer on and the lockring would not screw in as it didnt engage the threads - Took spacer out and lockring now fits - So I assume they have tweaked the cassettes in some way now its not needed - Cassette comes loose so I try spacer again and same issue - So I made some shim washers and fitted it as I didn't have any different spacers - Cassette comes loose again and when I undid the lockring this time it's mating surface was damaged from me over tightening last time - went to spares bin and found a token lockring and discovered it is almost twice the thread length of the Sram locking ring - Put spacer that came with hope hubs on and lock ring works perfectly - So essentially the lockring Sram supply was not fit for purpose - I have a steel freehub coming as I have gouged the alloy 1 and wanted to fit a steel lockring as well as its on the E-Bike.

I can't actually measure the current lockring as in my frustration I had wet and dry sanded it for a bit to try and get the threads to engage.

@Minlak I've definitely got a 1.8mm spacer you can have, if you need it?
I checked what lockrings I have and the only steel ones I've got spare are similar to SRAM with less threading.

Thanks for looking I will let you know - it seems the spacer might be a 2.5mm one - I am thinking I might just buy a spacer kit that has various sizes to cover all bases.

Use a BB spacer. You’re welcome.

edit. Hope hub yeah? You need 1mm for MTB cassette.
