Following up...the tabbed washer is present, only on this mech (a Peugeot branded sx410) there's a wide tab and a narrow one. I had it set to the narrow one, but I think that orientation is wrong. I switched it so the wide tab hits the front of the hanger and the angle is about 45* from level--better, but still not typical. Also, I couldn't fully tighten the mounting bolt as it would lock the pivot in place. Maybe missing a washer?

I compared it to a Super LJ I have--the tabbed washer for that one has only a single tab and it would hold the Super LJ near vertical, which seems right...

Anyway, it still shifts fine in the new orientation. Just hope the mounting bolt doesn't work lose.
