Slow But Determined

So with many thanks to @DCBassman I have shifters for my flat bar conversion that shift!!.
Front triple is no problem but am struggling to get it onto the biggest rear cog, (8 speed)
The wheel that was on the bike was a Mavic A319 which is designated as 8 speed. This wheel was totalled in the accident. In the spirit of spending as little as possible I used an old rear wheel I had in the shed from an Allez Sport that was nine speed.
The hub measured exactly the same, and after reading on the internet I decided I didn't need a spacer to go from 9 to 8.
What do the good people here think, should I have put a spacer behind the 8 speed cassette.
Cheers in advance.
