I know theres a small 10mm spacer on the inside, but this is about 50mm wide! Is 12mm the correct diameter?

You should have two long hanger bolts. 1 for the top that has a spacer that is a strange shape with two flanges. The bottom bolt also has a spacer. The spacers are 4 and 5 http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550f2-super-sport-550-four-1977-england_model17121/partslist/F26.html#results

Yep, got both of those, plus another one, larger than either of those, and looks like it was just made out of some scrap aluminium bar.
You know if 12mm is the right diameter for the bolt? As I'm scrapping the foot pegs, I know I'll need a different length, but want to get the right thickness. 12mm just feels sloppy.

I can not comment on the size as i have non laying about. The mounts on the rear of your engine at the back should be two different sizes, the top one being a smaller diameter than the bottom ?

Top is definitely smaller, it's 10mm diameter. Will wait to see if anyone has a measurement for me. :)

This could explain some of the sloppiness. Not exactly round anymore...

Nice, never seen that on a engine mount before. On the side stand mount many times. Looks like someone did not have his bolts tight or drilled it because he/she could not get it lined up right.
