Help with flat sided washer

Hi I have 2 flat sided washers, I believe they are definitely from my front and rear caliper rebuild , but now can’t figure out where they go?, hopefully someone has come across these in rebuilding there calipers as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated ...Thanks

Hi cr-rex, thanks for the help on the flat washer, wondering if you can help me with the 2 bolts that connect the caliper to the bracket, I know the top bolt has a lock washer and the flat sided washer, but is there no washer on the bottom bolt, just a lock washer?, seems to me there would be regular washer on the bottom too..

Sorry, brake line is at top on both sides and bracket same. Your FSM should clearly show the proper assembly

Thanks, not sure what FSM means, and I have a manual, but it’s got to be the smallest manual I’ve seen, it’s fat but small in page size..Thanks
