Use the XR/CRF spacer on the sprocket side when you install the Z wheel in place. Just check the gap at the brake panel side and use 12mm flat washer(s) accordingly.

No, not on any of the hardtail frames, they have a taller steering stem neck. The '73 through '99 Z forks will not work on a hardtail frame either, for the same reason.

I would also add a 70 swing arm if you plan on running a z wheel. Its not necessary but the z wheel has some wide tires you can put on.
My friend runs a 4.8 wide rear tire.
But you can get away with a 3.5 wide tire on the stock swing arm.

Im running a different arm.
Just add the washers to what ever side needs it. Look at the chain to see if its parallel to both sprockets.
I put that pic as an example.
