By definition, \"clearance\" has more to do with spaces between moving components:
from dictionary.com:
The amount of space or distance by which a moving object clears something.
The height or width of a passage: an underpass with a 13-foot clearance.
An intervening space or distance allowing free play, as between machine parts.

And for \"gap\":
A space between objects or points; an aperture:

I would go with "gap" because the word "clearance" seems to be a space left for moving objects to clear each other. Are there moving parts in your case?
The clear space or distance between moving objects or mechanical parts or between a moving object and that which it passes through.
