Replacing intergrated with free standing size difference

[Bobballs]

I want to replace a intergrated washing machine and dishwasher in my kitchen with free standing appliances. The problem I have is that the intergrated units I currently have both have a width of 59.6cm but the free standing appliances I want are 60cm each so I am 0.8cm short

Even though the appliances are 59.6cm do kitchen fitters tend to work to a 60cm per appliance regardless ? When I measure the space it looks like I am about 2mils short, not sure whether to risk getting 2 full size appliances or whether I should just go for a full size washer and slim line dishwasher at 45cm but then that leaves me with a gap of about 13cm with nothing to fill I have found a few full size appliances that at 59.6cm width but I wanted to put Bosch in and they all seem to be 60cm.

Remember to account for the vibration of the machine .Too tight and it'll shake your kitchen apart

Are sure your dimensions are correct, I thought the 600 was the cabinett dimensions.

it'll be 600 to outside edge but intergrated will fit inside the cabinet shell

Any chance of moving a base unit? You really will need a gap for the W/M in particular. I've seen mine (Bosch) thrashing about up to an inch with an off-balance load.
