Shimano Triple Chainring Assembly??
cciaffone
with spacers bolts disassembled. Can some kind person
point me to a diagram of how the various spacers work
on which side of which chainrings??

That sort of thing is easy to find in a quick web search, for example:
http://www.paul-lange.de/produkte/shimano/support/explosionszeichungen_archiv/FC/FC_M510_S_OCTA_02.pdf
Or search for your specific model.
Chainring bolts sit in counter bored holes so the rings are hard to
install backwards. There's a triangle "set" mark which aligns to the arm.

Yeah, I did find a bunch of those parts breakdowns at the Shimano site.
But in this pile of parts are 3 sets of 5 tubular spacers.
Each set is a different size/length. Where do they all go??
They range from paper thin to 3/16 (or so) thick.
From the diagram, they do not go between the outer or center ring
and the spider. Probably not between the gear-fixing bolt or nut and a
chain ring. The deeper spacer must go between the small ring
and the inner circle on the spider. That leaves me with
two other sets of spacers that the Shimano diagrams do not
address.
sheesh!

Search for the exact model using the Shimano product number stamped on
your crank. M700?

an inlay that says "SIS Compatible". Both of these are on the front of the
crank. Is there somewhere else I should look for the product number? I can't
find any reference to Shimano SG-X at your website link.

That's on the chainrings? Typically there's an FC-xxxx product
number on the backside of the cranks (arms), but it seems to be
missing on some older OEM cranks.

"SG-X" is a Shimano term for their shifting oriented chainrings
(SuperGlide X(?)), like HG (HypeGlide) for the sprockets in the
back.

The thick ones are the spacers for the small chainring, i.e. are
installed between that and the crank...as you figured 8)

Not all cranks used such spacers, so the diagramm might not show
them if if shows a different crank.
The thin spacers are used between the larger chainrings and the
spider to achieve the right distance and chainline. With a 9x chain
you might not need them anyway...

Well: install and see...if you have chain rub or shifting issues you
can add the thin spacers to adjust...

It's on the other side of the arm. Starts with "FC-M___"
