Hey everyone, while backing out the rear axle to lower the rear caliper, the rear spacer(a big washer) fell out and now I don't know which side of the rear brake bracket it goes on, on the swingarm side or the speedometer side of the brake bracket. Anyone out there know. (I know, you're supposed to look at that sort of stuff before you go doing something dumb). Pictures would be great!!!

The diagram you need is on page F21.

No sign of a spacer on my bike ('77 T140V). From the hub, you should have speedo drive, caliper bracket, adjuster bracket over swing arm, washer, nut.

I have heard of some folks having a washer between the speedo drive and caliper bracket, but this is not standard.

Hope that helps.
