I am about to reassemble the front suspension parts on my Griff and I notice that I have forgotten one thing

When mounting the front callipers on the uprights there are two thicker washers. Where should these be? As a "distance" between the calliper and the upright or as a standar washer for the calliper bolt?

I hope someone understands what I am trying to ask and can help me

Yep I fully understand and they are used as a spacer 9i.e. between caliper and upright. You'd soon realise if you used them as a conventional washer when you tried to re-fit your wheels.

Ooh, thanks! I built it myself, but it is already beginning to get too small...
