Based on this photo of the rearward side of the fork crown, am I OK putting a plain, flat washer against the back of the fork, followed by the fender mount bracket, another plain flat washer, and finally the nylock nut? With that setup, the end of the brake stud protrudes past the top of the nylock nut, assuring me of contact with 100% of the nylock nut threads. Is this variety of fork crown robust enough not to have the specially shaped washer in the back? Photo here (can't get the photo uploader tool to work, daggonit)
