A half inch is definitely too close. The team I assisted directly had put a Jaguar on the top side of a piece of lexan, and the WGA was mounted to the bottom side directly underneath it.

I only heard about the other team second-hand, so I don't actually know how near the parts were to each other, but I got the impression it was less than a couple of inches. I'll try to find out details from the Spare Parts volunteer who helped them correct the problem when they requested a replacement WGA.
