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.
