Try this: Flip your RR spur around so the back is facing forward. And then, shim your CB accordingly. If that does not help, gent the Nova engine mount so you can scoot your engine forward and backward to clear the spur from the CB.

Nevermind I found it...adjustable both ways I see. Does it work good 'cause I prefer adjusting that and leaving my clutch bell alone...I spent a lot of time getting that just right. I don't find any on eBay. Where do I buy it?

The Nova mount is nice. You do not have to worry about shimming to scoot the CB forward; however, it can be a pain getting the mount position correct since the negine will shimmy left and right and forward and backward all at once. That is, until you lock down the screws.

Do you have any shims behind your flywheel, what is the gap like between the flywheel and the engine and also the CB to the flywheel

I had the same issue. I removed the flywheel the slipped the collet off. Removed some material from the back of the collet (the large end of the collet that goes towards the engine block) with a file. Need to keep the back square when filling. Remove a little at a time. Keep checking the clearence. This will move the flywheel closer to the block (do not let it touch).

I had the same issue with the HPI vented cb I ran it like that with no issues. I recently changed to the fiber dual disk breaks though so no hitting issues anymore.
