JF, when I re-hung my old rudders following my ruddershelf replacement, I didn't leave any space. I wedged the old up and blocked them and then attached the tiller arms.
I did check for clearance side to side. Also, make sure you use packing for rudders, none of the teflon stuff it will leak for sure. Right now the only water in my bilge is from the rain :)
I also put locktight on the set screws in the bearing and collar. I didn't want them backing off and hope I remember that I gotta heat them if I ever have to remove again;)
