Sometimes I see things that are OK, but aren't. It happens when your eyes get old (I'm 65). Yeah, you need a spacer. I can't tell from the pic if you have a shroud, but if you don't just make sure that whatever spacer you use keeps the blades ahead of any of the other business. That should be good enough. You must not be running hot.

As far as that wire goes, it kind of reminds me of the ground wire for the old trailer brake that my FiL had on what is now my truck, except it looks like a GM style crimp. I've pulled many yards of wire running every which way out of this truck- under the carpet, up in the headliner- that have been run in the past for camper brakes, CB, etc. Some of that stuff was an electrical fire waiting to happen.
