Hi Tony,
I had exactly the same small problem! Solution? Longer bolts!! In actual fact, when you use longer bolts and tighten them up, they have the effect of "squeezing" everything together so the boiler and its cladding is all neat and tidy. You could I suppose then cut off the excess bolt, but I have never gotton around to it! I used some M5 studding and double nutted each end. I know of one other person who has the same problem and probably everyone will have as well.
Good Luck
Greg
