I've started reassembling the axles on my '53 3100. I'm trying to assemble
the studs at the top of the wheel backing plates that the brake pads pivot
on. I can't find anything in the reference material that I'm using that
show the proper sequence for these parts (you'd think that the factory
assembly manual would have a page on this).

Specifically I've got the stud, this odd shaped spacer (see picture), lock
washer and nut. I don't know which side of the backing plate that the
spacer goes on. Does it go on the outside with the lock washer and nut or
on the inside with the brake pads? My guess is that it goes on the brake
pad side, but does anyone know for sure?
