move BB axle

Kyle.B.H said:

My Shimano UN-72 BB has a loose flange on the right, and
the main body, flangeless, inserts from the left,
presumably finding its place in life when tightened against
the right flange.

Is there any problem in moving my BB axle to the right
say, 2mm, by putting some sort of spacer between the
right flange and the frame? If so, where would I find
such a spacer?

It's not uncommon to do this to fix a chainline problem.

Use freewheel sprocket spacers; one source is here:

Nope altho it may put the left crank too close to the
left chainstay or make the crank offset to the right but
it is do-able-

Go to a bike shop, dear Liaza.
