Ah ha. This is new to me. So the curved adapter/washer was only to be used in front and a plain nut and a flat washer in back? Mine has the adapter/curved-washer in front AND in back. So in back, do I use just the plain nut and a plain, round, flat washer? That will allow 100% OF the nut threads to engage with the brake stud, and then some.
