Do you tighten the new capscrews until the hanger hits the capscrew underneath?
Or am I missing something alltogether?
Why do you need two different diameter holes again?
Thanx.

Welcome to the site.
Be aware this is for the 600 and I'm not sure how the 1000 Fazer differs, probably very little.
I have not done this mod but will try to answer your questions and YamFazMan can correct me when he returns.
I don't think he has used any spacers as he says the original cap screws have a thinner head than standard and are to be used for attaching the bracket to the frame bracket. Certainly do NOT tighten the hanger screws if it is hitting the head of the bracket screw. If it does you could use washers to pack it out.
Two different holes in the small bracket is because the captive nut in the exhaust bracket is 10mm x 1.25 pitch (fine series) rather than the more readily available 1.5mm pitch (course series). Since he needed a shorter bolt he has used a standard 8mm bolt to pass through the 10mm nut and put a 8mm nut on the end of the 10mm nut. Hence a 10mm clearance hole where the bracket attaches to the hanger and 8mm clearance at the exhaust end.
Two different size holes in the large bracket are because the two for the hanger are tapped 8mm thread and the other two are clearance holes for bolting to the captive nuts on the frame bracket. If you used nuts behind the new bracket you would need to pack it out and use longer screws to the frame with compensating spacer etc for the exhaust bracket.
Hope that all makes sense. :\
