I just received a NOS brake set (1988 year off topic, but subject germane). The rear brake, I understand. It includes one brake caliper, a serrated washer and the recessed type allen bolt. The front is a mystery. It came with one caliper, two serrated washers and a flat washer. What would the flat washer be for? I assume the extra serrated washer is a spare, but if you try to use the flat washer you accomplish nothing. The only way I could figure the factory intended it is to use the caliper, one serrated washer, the flat washer and then the other serrated washer. But what would the extra hardware do for a front brake's action?
