Place Taco behind the crank arm. Try to establish how far the plastic plate is away from the chainring. If it is more than 5-6mm then use provided spacers to bring taco closer to the chainring. Ideally taco should be positioned as close as possible to the chainring itself, but do not use all the spacers to do so. Use no more than 4mm of spacers under each bolt. Once you have established the distance, mount the bolts loosely and position taco in middle of the bolt slots as a starting point or change it to your needs.
